Hybrid Working

40 hours
Looking for that next step where your ideas are listened to, your development is taken seriously, and you can actually see a path forward?
This opportunity is with a growing, forward-thinking business in Harrogate, one that genuinely invests in its people. You’ll be working closely with an experienced and approachable finance team, learning from them while also having the space to make the role your own. The business is a growing SME and has received significant investment over the last few years so there’s real potential for progression here, with a structured development plan in place from day one.

This isn't just a tick-the-boxes finance role. It’s varied, hands-on, and the kind of role where you’ll get to see the impact of your work, whether that’s through supporting with financial planning, working with stakeholders across the business, or helping improve processes. This role offers you the chance to take ownership, grow your career, and be part of a team that enjoys what they do.
