- Delivering time-critical information in a fast-paced environment.
The Ideal Candidate:
- A part-qualified or qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or QBE with relevant commercial experience.
- Strong analytical skills with a passion for understanding data and translating it into meaningful insight.
- Excellent communication skills with the confidence to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels.
- Highly organised and comfortable working to tight deadlines without compromising accuracy.
- Strong Excel skills and familiarity with financial systems and reporting tools.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to step into a commercially-focused finance role in a collaborative and supportive environment. The position offers variety, visibility across the business, and the chance to contribute to continued growth and success.
