• Use Excel and data tools to improve analysis, reconciliations and reporting
• Help identify opportunities to simplify, standardise and automate Finance processes
• Support year end, audit, statutory reporting and wider Finance projects

The Candidate:

• Studying towards ACA, ACCA or CIMA, or keen to begin a professional qualification
• Some experience supporting management accounts, month end or balance sheet reconciliations
• Naturally analytical with a genuine interest in understanding the “why” behind the numbers
• Good Excel skills with an interest in developing your data and systems knowledge
• Experience within a product, retail, consumer or international business would be particularly interesting
• Exposure to stock, inventory, logistics or high volume transactional data would be advantageous
• Proactive, bright and comfortable taking ownership
