Are you a hands-on Finance Assistant? Do you thrive in a varied and fast-paced role where you can make an impact?

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy variety, take pride in accuracy, and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves. From processing transactions and resolving invoice queries to preparing accruals and supporting management accounts, your attention to detail and initiative will be key. We’re looking for someone who’s confident juggling competing priorities, enjoys working collaboratively, and is excited by the opportunity to contribute to the bigger picture as the finance function strengthens and evolves.
