  • Play a key role in the implementation and optimisation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
  • Support the development of reporting structures within the new ERP platform.
  • Act as a key liaison between Finance and Systems teams.
  • Champion new technologies and drive adoption of improved ways of working.

  • Prepare statutory accounts and maintain compliance with regulatory and Group reporting requirements.
  • Strengthen governance and financial controls across the organisation.

• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to communicate financial information clearly.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience working with financial systems.
• A track record of supporting business change, transformation, or systems implementation projects.
• A process-driven mindset with a natural ability to identify efficiencies and improve controls.
• Confidence working in evolving environments where you can create structure and drive positive change.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience with OneStream or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central would be advantageous, but is not essential.

Why This Role

This is a rare opportunity to shape a finance function during a genuine period of transformation, not just maintain one. Real ownership, real variety, and the chance to build something rather than simply run it.

We practice a diverse and inclusive recruitment process that ensures equal opportunity for all we work with, irrespective of race, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, age or gender. As an organisation, we encourage applications from all backgrounds and will ensure measures are met when required, to allow a fair process throughout.

PLEASE NOTE: We can only consider applications from candidates who have the right to work in the UK.
