What You’ll Bring:

• ACCA / CIMA Part Qualified.

• Previous experience in a Finance role with strong understanding of journal postings, accruals, and reconciliations.

• High proficiency in Excel; SAP experience is desirable.

• Strong analytical thinking with excellent attention to detail.

• Clear communicator with excellent interpersonal skills and a collaborative mindset.

• High accuracy and reliability with financial data.

Candidate Profile:

• Proactive, curious and always looking to improve how things are done.

• Comfortable in a high-performance, deadline-driven environment with competing demands.

• A creative problem solver who builds effective relationships across functions.

• Highly motivated with the determination and resilience to see things through.

• Confident in making sense of complex data and turning it into meaningful insight.

What We Offer:
