• Technically strong, with an excellent understanding of UK‑adopted IFRS and statutory financial reporting.
• Experienced in preparing Annual Reports and statutory financial statements within a complex, multi‑entity environment.
• Someone who has previously worked with a SaaS, technology or other fast‑paced, high‑growth business, where managing competing priorities and delivering to tight reporting deadlines is second nature.
