Accounting Manager

Company:  Rootree (Family-owned manufacturing group with multiple operating businesses)

Rootree is a family-owned manufacturing company with a growing portfolio of operating businesses across manufacturing, creative services, and emerging product ventures. As the group continues to scale, so does the complexity of our financial operations across inventory, systems, and multiple entities.

We are hiring an Accounting Manager to strengthen our accounting function and support the continued professionalization of finance across the group.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working in the details, while also helping build structure, improve processes, and support a growing finance team.
