FinOps Analyst

Embarrassed to call yourself an accountant? Don’t worry - you’re not alone.

Accounting is stuck in the past. So, we get stuck doing boring, monotonous work as a small cog in tedious firms, or struggling to make an impact in businesses that don’t really care.

RORA was founded to improve the career options for Accountants. We promise impact, variety and progression. We’re looking for those who crave more - more responsibility and more impact - and want to keep progressing and learning with a group of people just like them.
