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.
