Are you a hands‑on finance professional who thrives on improving processes, developing people, and driving system enhancements?
The Role
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you’ll lead and develop a small transactional finance team (5‑6 people), ensuring smooth and accurate financial operations while identifying opportunities to improve processes, controls, and systems.
You'll take ownership of:
* End‑to‑end AP and AR processes, including credit control
* Driving process improvements and automation (including P2P systems)
* Supporting finance system implementation and optimisation
* Delivering KPI reporting and dashboards to support decision‑making
* Ensuring strong financial controls, reconciliations, and a smooth month‑end close
* Partnering with stakeholders across the organisation to improve financial understanding and compliance
