What you'll be doing:
This is a hands-on role with broad exposure across the business. Your focus will be ensuring tight financial control and leading key reporting processes, while supporting both the Finance Director and Financial Controller.

* 1-2 years post-qualification experience (CIMA or ACCA)
* Strong commercial finance background and a proactive mindset
* Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with financial systems
