Initially an interim appointment, there's the potential to be extended or transfer to permanent should the fit be right. Key Responsibilities Own the monthly management accounts, financial control framework and balance sheet integrity, keeping the function audit-ready throughout the transition. Oversee tax, VAT and regulatory reporting, plus payroll oversight (outsourced) and year-end audit.
