  • VAT returns and statutory reporting requirements
  • Assisting with financial reporting, including external submissions
  • Supporting improvements to financial controls and processes

The Candidate

You'll ideally have:

  • Strong financial accounting experience in a busy environment
  • Advanced Excel skills (comfortable handling large volumes of data)
  • A proactive, hands-on approach with strong ownership mindset
  • The ability to process work quickly without compromising quality
  • Experience in a manufacturing or operational business (desirable)
  • Exposure to tools such as Power BI, SQL, or reporting systems (advantageous)
