This is a hands-on position with real breadth, suited to someone who wants to step beyond pure reporting and get closer to operations and commercial drivers.

* Supporting project-based work across operations, including cost tracking and financial oversight
* Balance sheet reconciliations and control improvements
* Partnering with site teams to improve financial visibility, particularly around inventory, materials usage and cost control
* Supporting audits and statutory reporting where required
This is a role that goes beyond standard financial accounting, with exposure to operational stakeholders and the opportunity to influence how finance supports the wider business.
The Person
* ACA/ ACCA qualified or equivalent
* Ideal for either a first move from practice or a second move within industry
* Strong grounding in financial reporting, controls and inventory accounting
* Experience or interest in manufacturing environments
