Expat Accountant – Mining recruitment

This is an exciting opportunity offering the chance to break into the mining sector and join an emerging coal miner with an exciting path ahead. With an imminent listing on the TSX and shortly going from exploration into production you will have the opportunity to gain exposure to the whole process and play a key role in the set up of their finance function in Mongolia.

Working in the Capital City you will be provided with all the benefits expected with an expat lifestyle, while gaining hands on experience in the mining sector. This role will see you build the foundations for a successful and fast-tracked career in the industry and further progression and expat options will be available working directly for the CFO and based in Canada.

Heading up a small finance team in Mongolia, you will take ownership for producing monthly, quarterly, half yearly and annual reports, cashflow forecasts and site budgets. You will build relationships and liaise closely with operational and site personnel monitoring budgets, cost, sales and efficiency. As an extension of your role you will also gain some invaluable systems experience ensuring their ERP produces meaningful reports for circulation to the CFO and senior management in Canada.

This is an ideal role for an ambitious Accountant looking to take their first step out of the profession. Although this is a senior role, you will be supported by the CFO and an experienced group of mining expats. Your knowledge of mining through your client base, strong technical accounting skills, motivation and sense of adventure will see you succeed in this role.

In return you will receive an excellent starting salary, fully paid for accommodation, flights home and employee option scheme. This type of position would give you an excellent grounding for moving into a Financial Controller role in the mining sector and you will also have the option of relocating with the organisation to Canada after the first 12-24 months (if desired).
