A large, modern, nationally trading business that put their employees at the forefront of everything they do.

The successful candidate should possess excellent MS Excel skills and a strong aptitude for grasping modern accounting ERPs. Whilst strong technical accounting skills are obviously a given, our client has made strong emphasis on the importance of personable and team-working qualities.
