The Role
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Finance Executive who enjoys taking ownership and making improvements. You’ll be responsible for running the finance processes end-to-end, ensuring the accounts function is organised, accurate, and operating efficiently.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be comfortable rolling up your sleeves, improving processes, and becoming a trusted part of the business.
