Director of Accounting & Financial Reporting

The Director, Accounting & Financial Reporting is the Company’s senior internal authority on accounting, financial reporting, controls, and public-company disclosure. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, this role serves as a strategic thought partner in a public, junior mining environment with outsourced transactional execution.

This role owns accounting conclusions, financial reporting quality, internal controls, treasury governance, and regulatory compliance, ensuring financial information and disclosures accurately reflect operational reality, strategic priorities, and risk tolerance. The Director also leads financial planning and analysis, including budgeting, forecasting, scenario analysis, and cash-runway modeling, to support capital allocation, project pacing, and liquidity management. The role is a primary interface with auditors, legal counsel, regulators, and the Board.
