  • Assisting with year-end financial information, audits, and statutory accounts preparation
  • Supporting reconciliations, reporting, and finance projects as required


Who we're looking for

  • Ideally part-qualified (ACCA/CIMA), however, candidates qualified by experience will also be considered
  • Experience in a similar finance or accounting role
  • Strong communication and IT skills
  • A detail-focused, analytical approach with a focus on accuracy and compliance
