* Assisting with management accounts preparation, reporting packs, and KPI reporting
* Carrying out variance analysis and supporting budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow reporting
* Maintaining the fixed asset register
* Supporting year-end processes, audit requests, and R&D submissions
* Providing ad hoc analysis and supporting process improvements
* Maintaining accurate financial records within the accounting system
What do you need?
* AAT qualified, part-qualified CIMA/ACCA/ACA, or qualified by experience
* Experience in a finance/accounts role, ideally with some exposure to management accounts
* Strong Excel skills (lookups, pivots, comfortable with data)
* Payroll experience is useful but not essential
* Accurate, organised, and able to manage deadlines
* Comfortable communicating with finance and non-finance colleagues
* Proactive and keen to develop
What’s in it for you?
