  • Maintain and develop the fixed asset register
  • Support month-end with key reconciliations and data accuracy
  • Improve financial processes, controls, and reporting quality
  • Provide clear financial insights to the Finance Director
  • Track acquisition-related costs and goodwill
  • Act as a role model for financial discipline and professionalism

  • ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified
  • Strong understanding of UK GAAP / FRS 102
  • Proven experience leading external audits
  • Hands-on treasury and cash management experience
  • Solid understanding of HMRC submissions (VAT, PAYE, CT)
  • Advanced Excel and strong ERP/accounting system skills
  • Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
  • Confident communicator with strong stakeholder management
  • Process-driven, proactive, and able to challenge the status quo
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, service-led environment

Why Join Us?

  • Work closely with senior leadership and influence key decisions
  • Career development and progression opportunities
