Your new role
In your new role you'll be supporting the Finance Director with adhoc projects whilst taking full ownership of the Financial and Management Accounts.

You'll receive a daily rate of up to £325 a day whilst joining a well established business that offers immediate exposure, with excellent prospects for personal/career progression and development.
