* Professional Qualifications: ACA, ACCA, or equivalent accounting qualification (newly qualified or nearly qualified).
* IFRS Experience: Strong technical knowledge of accounting under IFRS, including the preparation of consolidated financial statements.
* Education Sector Experience: Previous experience working in a financial accounting role within the education sector is highly desirable. Familiarity with the unique financial reporting challenges in education institutions will be an advantage.
* Attention to Detail: A high level of attention to detail and a strong analytical mindset.
* Communication Skills: Ability to work cross-functionally, provide clear advice, and communicate effectively with internal teams and external auditors.
* System Skills: Experience with financial consolidation systems (e.g., OneStream) or similar software is a plus.
* Commitment to Excellence: A proactive, solutions-oriented approach, with a commitment to improving financial processes and maintaining high standards of financial reporting.
