* Oversee payroll, VAT, Corporation Tax, and year-end
* Drive daily cashflow forecasting and management
* Manage and develop the small finance team
* Lead stock and shipping cost audits, FX payments, letters of credit
* Work with auditors and produce year-end accounts
* Support property investment reporting
* Improve reporting and data through Excel and IT systems
About You:
* ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified

Why Apply:
* Work directly with the Group FD and gain depth of understanding of how a £150m group operates
* Take ownership of the finance function and drive improvement
* Visible role with the opportunity to influence wider operations
* Dynamic, entrepreneurial business with big growth ambitions
* Excellent long-term career development
