The Opportunity
The business has an established finance function responsible for the day-to-day accounting and reporting activities. This role is focused on providing the insight behind the numbers.
You will act as a trusted business partner, helping the leadership team understand trends, identify opportunities, assess risks and make informed commercial decisions.
This is a rare opportunity to join an ambitious business where your contribution will be visible and valued, with genuine scope to progress into a broader leadership role over time.
