This is an exciting opportunity to step into a key leadership role where you’ll take ownership of core financial operations — from management accounts and month-end close to VAT compliance and financial reporting. Working closely with senior leadership, you’ll bring clarity to financial performance and play an active role in supporting decision-making across the business.
The ideal candidate will be hands-on, detail-focused, and comfortable managing the day-to-day demands of a busy finance function, while also contributing to process improvements and longer-term planning.

Prepare accurate and timely management accounts, ensuring insight and clarity for decision-making
Manage full month-end and year-end close processes, including reconciliations and accruals
Oversee VAT return preparation and submissions, ensuring compliance with regulations
Monitor cash flow and support budgeting and forecasting activities
Liaise with external auditors and tax advisors as required
Support process improvements within the finance team to increase efficiency and accuracy
Provide financial analysis and reporting to senior management
Ensure compliance with company policies and financial controls

Proficient with accounting software and MS Excel
Detail-oriented with excellent organisational and communication skills
Ability to work independently and manage deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Duration: 18 months (fixed-term contract)
Competitive daily rate (commensurate with experience)
