You'll work closely with colleagues across the business, as well as suppliers and customers, helping to resolve queries and keep financial processes running smoothly.
You’ll also support financial reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, month‑end activities, budgeting, forecasting and audit requirements, giving you exposure to key areas of management accounting and helping you develop your commercial finance knowledge.
What We Need From You
We're looking for someone who's eager to build a successful career in finance and make the most of the development opportunities on offer. You'll have:
- A degree in Finance, Accounting or a related subject
