Tailored career development: A personalised plan to strengthen your technical excellence and broaden your commercial and leadership skillset. Agile, empowering culture: Decisions are made quickly, ideas are welcomed, and your input genuinely matters. Exciting transformation: Lead finance reporting improvements, digital dashboards, automation, and process redesign. Gain exposure to strategy, M&A and a future PE transaction. What You ll Do Own group reporting, management accounts, tax, treasury, and core financial control. Strengthen systems, controls, and governance as the business scales. Deliver insightful financial reporting for the board and investors. Drive finance transformation projects including automation, Power BI, and ERP optimisation.
