About the Role

This role sits within a tight‑knit finance team where your expertise will be valued, and your impact will be visible.

It’s a role built for someone who enjoys ownership, variety, and autonomy.

Key Responsibilities

So who are you and what is your profile?

You’re a fully qualified accountant (CA or equivalent) with a minimum of three years’ experience in a commercial finance environment, ideally within a similar‑sized or international business. You bring confidence, independence, and a proactive mindset to your work, and you're comfortable communicating across all levels of the business. Experience with Microsoft D365 is a strong advantage, and any exposure to Power BI and payroll oversight will be well regarded. You’re someone who takes initiative, thrives in an environment where you can add real value, and enjoys being trusted to get on with the job.

With flexible work arrangements, early Friday finishes, a supportive manager, and the chance to make a real impact, this is a fantastic next step for a commercially minded accountant.
