• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
• Providing financial insight to support operational and commercial decision-making

Ideally, you will bring:

• ACCA, CIMA or ACA qualification (or be working towards qualification)
• Experience in management accounting, financial reporting and budgeting
• Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills
• Experience of ERP systems
• A flexible, hands-on approach and willingness to support a growing business
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

Experience within a manufacturing environment, multi-currency business, or with Epicor and/or Microsoft Dynamics would be advantageous.

Our Culture

At Steatite, you will join a supportive, collaborative and down-to-earth team where people work together, ideas are welcomed and individual contributions are valued. We encourage continuous improvement, professional development and giving people the opportunity to make a genuine impact on the business.

Based in the beautiful county of Herefordshire, this role offers the opportunity to combine an exciting career with an excellent quality of life. We welcome applications from across the UK and offer a relocation package to support candidates looking to make the move to Herefordshire.

Alongside the opportunity to make a real impact and develop your career within the wider Solid State Group, you'll receive a strong benefits package including 26 days' holiday plus bank holidays, Profit Share Scheme, pension, company sick pay, life assurance, EV Salary Sacrifice Scheme and our All Employee Share Plan.
