Reporting directly to the MD of the business, working closely with the International FD and leading a finance team of 4, you will assume responsibility for month-end accounting, statutory accounting and management accounts. You will also produce detailed board reports with commentary & analysis, provision of business intelligence, financial information and various ad-hoc reports to the MD – informing him of the financial position of the business at any given time.

In return, you will:
- Work in an high-growth, established and successful business, in a friendly, flexible, open and supportive working environment;
- Gain commercial and operational finance experience working closely with the MD – advising on your recommendations to improve the performance of the business and the strategic direction of the company;
- Receive a competitive salary and rewarding benefits package with great levels of flexibility around your working hours;
- Get a chance to progress and develop your role within the business as it continues to grow, with the prospect of working towards an FD position for the business a real possibility in a relatively short space of time.
