* Experience working in a service business with a turnover of £10-50 million, developing robust financial controls and contributing to business growth.
* Experience in a multifaceted business with overseas entities, handling multiple currencies.
* Previous involvement in systems implementation and improving financial processes.
* A hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude, with strong attention to detail and a commitment to excellence.
* Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively and influence stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.
* A genuine care for people and a desire to contribute positively to the company culture.
