• Support statutory reporting and compliance requirements
• Deliver accurate management information and analysis to support decision‑making
• Contribute to finance transformation, process improvement and system enhancements
• Support ad‑hoc projects such as debtors ledger reviews and customer deductions analysis

• ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent)
• Likely trained in practice or early post‑qualification in industry
• Strong technical accounting background with a solid understanding of controls and reconciliations
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, evolving environment
• Proactive, detail‑focused and keen to learn
• Ambitious and motivated, with a clear desire to progress into senior finance roles over time

Why Apply?
