  • prepare consolidated accounts and several disclosure notes ensuring compliance with completeness of disclosures.
  • provide analytic information on Group's performance to support quarterly presentations to external investors.
  • act as main contact with respect to KPMG external audit fieldwork.
• Responsible for consolidating the budget numbers and producing the budget pack to be reviewed by the Group Planning Team.

• Practical experience of foreign currency consolidation preferable.
• Good financial accounting technical knowledge.
• A team player who has the ability to communicate at all levels of the organisation and who is challenging but tactful.
• Ability to work to tight deadlines.

Our culture inspires and unites us to grow, change and deliver the best solutions for our customers. It means that we are:

Dynamic. Although we're sixty years old, it doesn't feel like it when you work here. There is a lot going on and our entrepreneurial spirit helps us to deliver at pace for customers and each other.

Experts in what we do. We're a team of experts who blend our experience and unique expertise to deliver precisely the right solution for customers. Our work is hugely varied; no two days are the same. And because of this, there are always opportunities for motivated people to learn and grow quickly.

Innovative. We're curious about how new ideas and technologies can benefit customers and simplify how we work. And that's as true for our fleet, where we're introducing hybrids and battery storage, as it is for improving the way we work together.
