What We’re Looking For:
  • ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or AAT Level 4 qualification.
  • Experience in producing management accounts and financial reporting.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret financial data and provide strategic recommendations.
  • Hands-on experience in bookkeeping and transactional finance.
  • Proactive mindset with the ability to drive financial improvements and efficiencies.
  • Comfortable in a stand-alone finance role, with the ambition to progress into a leadership position.
