• Oversee compliance with UK and international tax and accounting standards, including support on VAT returns
• Provide training and financial insights to non-finance teams to improve reporting accuracy and understanding
• Support cash flow management, debtor collection, and cost optimisation initiatives
• Assist in developing financial plans that underpin long-term strategic growth

What we’re looking for (essential):

• Experience as a Finance Manager, Financial Controller, or similar in a multi-site hospitality, events or retail environment
• Strong understanding of month-end processes, revenue and cost accounting, and management reporting

• Excellent communicator and confident in partnering with non-finance stakeholders
• Strong Excel skills
