• Assist with year-end reporting and provide support during the external audit process.
• Identify opportunities to improve systems, reporting and finance processes to create a more efficient FP&A function.
• Work collaboratively across Finance to ensure high standards of financial governance and reporting.

We're looking for someone who combines strong technical finance expertise with excellent business partnering skills.

You will ideally have:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification.
• Significant experience within FP&A, management accounting or commercial finance.
