You will work closely with colleagues across the Finance team and wider business, helping to maintain accurate financial processes while identifying and resolving discrepancies.

As Montu continues to grow, there will also be opportunities to get involved in additional projects, develop your knowledge and take on greater responsibility.

What will you be doing?

• Preparing and processing payment run files, submitting completed information for senior management authorisation
