- Support the preparation of management accounts and regular financial reporting.
- Assist with bank reconciliations and cash flow monitoring.
- Support audit preparation and provide financial information as required.
- Maintain accurate accounting records across the business.
- Assist with the implementation and improvement of finance systems and processes.
- Identify opportunities to streamline and automate existing processes.

About You
We're looking for someone who is actively studying towards ACCA, CIMA or AAT, with some solid experience in a finance or accounting environment.
- Experience across core accounting processes
- Good knowledge of double-entry accounting
- Previous exposure to AP / purchase-to-pay
- Strong Excel skills
- Good attention to detail
- A proactive approach and willingness to take ownership
- Good communication skills and the ability to work in a small team
The Opportunity
This role offers genuine breadth across the finance function, rather than being focused solely on one area of accounting.
It would suit someone who wants to develop their experience, take on increasing responsibility and work closely with a Finance Manager in a growing organisation.
