This fast-growing utilities business is at the start of an exciting scale-up journey and is looking for a bright, hands-on accountant to take ownership of a newly created role. You'll be the go-to person for financial and commercial reporting for a new business unit - with scope to shape processes, implement reporting and add real commercial value.

* Overseeing third-party billing providers to ensure accurate, reconciled data
* Creating models from scratch and working with large, complex data sets
* Laying the groundwork for future finance processes in a new business segment
What we're looking for:
* ACA or ACCA qualified with around 2-3 years' PQE
* Strong foundation in financial accounting, with some exposure to FP&A or commercial finance
* Able to build models and reports from scratch in Excel (or similar tools)
* Comfortable working with large data sets and extracting meaningful insights
* Confident communicator, able to engage with stakeholders across the business
* Ideally coming from an SME or mid-sized business background, not a large multinational
