  • Support in delivering the year end accounts including preparation of year end audit files and provision of information to the auditors
  • Preparation of short term and long term cash flow forecasts
  • Preparation of quarterly VAT returns including turnover reconciliations
  • Deliver process improvements and identify opportunities to make repetitive tasks more efficient
  • Assist with migration of brands to our finance system (Unit4)
