• Supporting statutory accounts preparation, year-end audit requirements and regulatory reporting
• Supporting financial controls and ensuring compliance with accounting policies and reporting standards

About You

We're looking for someone who combines strong management accounting skills with a practical and collaborative approach.

• Strong Excel skills and confidence using finance systems
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills
• A proactive and organised approach
• The ability to build positive working relationships across finance and the wider business
• Experience within a multi-entity environment would be advantageous but isn’t essential

What You’ll Get

You'll be joining a friendly and supportive team where people are encouraged to take ownership, share ideas and continue developing their skills.

This role offers the opportunity to broaden your experience beyond traditional management accounting. Alongside preparing the management accounts for our Group entity, you'll gain exposure to treasury, cashflow management, group reporting and finance projects, helping you develop a well-rounded finance skillset.
