The Ideal Candidate

We're looking for someone who values stability, takes pride in getting the job done right, and prefers a steady, predictable workday over chasing promotions. This role is well suited to a professional who's confident in their abilities, happy to work independently, and appreciates a calm, no-drama environment. You enjoy meaningful work, but don't need a title change to stay motivated.

You'll be stepping into a business with operations that span locally and possibly some reporting abroad, where your expertise will help bring clarity to complex data and shape the way financial information supports strategic decisions.

If you're experienced, reliable, and ready to make a measurable difference-this one's for you.

• Manage cash flow reporting and forecasting
• Oversee VAT, tax calculations, and compliance processes
• Support year-end processes and liaise with external auditors
• Maintain and improve internal controls around reporting
• Assist with system improvements and process optimisation
• Support Group FM and CFO functions

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years' experience in a finance or reporting role
• Strong background in multi-entity reporting and consolidation
• Proficiency in accounting systems such as Xero, Sage, or similar
• Comfortable working in a scaling, fast-paced environment where the role may change as business scales
