You’ll be stepping into a position with real ownership - taking responsibility for key areas of the ledger, owning reconciliations, and playing a visible role in reporting and process improvement.
It’s a role where you’re trusted to run things, not just support them.
The role:
- Ownership of key reconciliations (cash, ledger, balances)
- Involvement in month-end reporting and analysis
- Preparing reports and statements for internal and external stakeholders
- Managing queries and building relationships across the business
- Working with large datasets and improving reporting processes
- Getting stuck into systems and helping make things better
What they’re looking for:
- Experience in a finance role with solid accounting fundamentals
- Strong Excel skills (there will be a test)
- Comfortable using finance systems/ERPs
- Someone who takes ownership and doesn’t need hand-holding
- Confident communicator who can deal with stakeholders
Why this role stands out:
- Proper ownership from day one
- Exposure beyond pure transactional finance
- 35-hour working week
- Hybrid working (3 days in the office)
- 36 days holiday (including bank holidays)
- A role you can actually grow in
