The opportunity:

As the Accounting Manager at Go1, you’ll play a key role in driving the integrity and accuracy of our global financial reporting. Reporting to the US-based Assistant Controller and managing a team of 8 (5 direct reports) across the APAC region, this role blends leadership, process ownership, and strategic insight.
