Preparing quarterly VAT returns and reconciliations

Supporting accounts payable, particularly during busy periods
Posting journals and supporting balance sheet reconciliations
Supporting audit fieldwork and year-end processes
Contributing to process improvements as systems and ways of working evolveYou'll work directly with the Finance Controller, gaining valuable exposure to how finance supports wider business decisions.

About You

You'll also bring a proactive mindset, confidence in communicating internally and externally, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, changing environment.
