  • Ensuring robust financial controls are maintained while supporting regulatory and compliance requirements
  • Assisting with the preparation of statutory accounts and liaising with external auditors where required
  • Supporting, developing, and mentoring members of the finance team
  • Identifying and implementing improvements to finance processes, reporting, and systems to enhance efficiency and accuracy
About you:
