• Strong organisational and time management skills.
• Excellent communication skills with both finance and non-finance colleagues.
• Self-starter with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Experience assessing and improving financial processes.
  
  
  

Desirable:

• Led or supported rollout of new processes (e.g. vendor onboarding or PO systems).
