1. Ensuring company financial systems are robust and compliant, and supporting future business growth.
2. Strategising, analysing and managing, ensuring finance is involved in key business decisions as part of the senior leadership team.
3. Managing the company's accounting function, including creating financial reporting packs with analysis, statutory accounts, and presenting annual accounts to the Board.
4. Leading financial forecasting processes.
5. Providing commercial finance support to the wider management teams, including margin analysis, pricing strategy, and reviewing stock provisioning policies.
