This is a newly created opportunity that offers genuine breadth, visibility and long-term career development.

This role has been designed for a newly qualified accountant looking to take ownership, broaden their experience and gain exposure beyond traditional financial reporting.

Working as part of a collaborative finance team, you will play a key role in management reporting, financial controls, systems improvement and ongoing finance transformation projects across the group.

• Balance sheet reconciliations and financial control activities
• Supporting year-end audit and statutory reporting processes
• Investigating and resolving financial and systems-related issues
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and controls
• Supporting ERP optimisation and finance transformation initiatives
• Working with stakeholders across finance and operational teams
• Contributing to wider group projects and continuous improvement activities

You Will Be/Have:

We're keen to speak with candidates who can demonstrate:

• Newly qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA status
• Strong financial accounting and controls knowledge
• Audit, practice or relevant industry experience
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Strong Excel and systems skills
• An interest in process improvement and ERP systems
• A proactive, curious and commercially-minded approach
• The confidence to challenge constructively and take ownership of outcomes
• Annual bonus opportunity
• Hybrid working (4 days office / 1 day home)
