A highly regarded international group is seeking an experienced accountant to provide interim support within its Group Finance function during a period of transition.

• Proven experience using IBM Planning Analytics / TM1 is essential
• Comfortable operating independently and taking ownership of month‑end processes
• Strong Excel skills and ability to work with large, complex datasets
