- Preparing and analysing financial information for senior management
- Managing journals, accruals, prepayments and other month-end adjustments
- Supporting the wider finance team with year-end and audit processes
- Maintaining robust financial controls and processes
- Identifying opportunities to improve and streamline finance processes

You'll ideally have:
- Qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA status, or equivalent experience
- Strong experience across month-end and management accounts
- Excellent Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups and ideally Power Query
- Strong understanding of balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls

- A proactive, analytical approach with excellent attention to detail
