• Preparing business cases for the monthly Investment Committee
• Supporting due diligence on potential acquisitions

• Monitoring performance against funding covenants
• Working closely with the MDs and senior leadership team, challenging investment proposals with confidence

The successful candidate will:

• Be a qualified accountant - Essential
• Have advanced Excel and financial modelling skills - Essential
• Have strong commercial judgement and the confidence to challenge investment proposals - Essential
• Have healthcare or corporate finance/transaction services experience - Desirable, but not essential

What's on offer:
