• One paid days leave every year to volunteer and support your community
• Ongoing training and development opportunities, allowing you to reach your full potential

What you'll be doing:

• To produce accurate monthly management accounts for contracts within the role-holder's remit and reporting results to Business Unit Managers, the Financial Controller and the Regional Manager.
• Preparing forecasts and budgets in liaison with Business Unit Managers providing support and advice for new projects/contracts when required. Applicants will need a keen eye for detail!

• Strong interpersonal skills are required to liaise confidently with other parts of the Business
