· Managing journals, accruals, prepayments, fixed assets and stock valuations

· Completing full balance sheet reconciliations

· Producing rolling cashflow forecasts

· Managing company bank accounts and maintaining strong financial controls

· Ensuring compliance with VAT, PAYE, payroll, pensions, Companies House and all statutory reporting requirements

· Supporting budgeting, forecasting and strategic financial planning

· Working closely with the senior leadership team, providing commercial financial insight

· Supporting the implementation of the new company-wide ERP system and helping drive continuous process improvements

About You

You'll ideally have:

· Previous experience as a Financial Controller or senior finance professional leading a finance function

· At least two years' experience managing a finance team

· Strong experience producing monthly management accounts

· Experience with budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis

· Experience of ERP implementation or financial system migrations (highly desirable)

· ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA, AAT qualification or be qualified by experience (QBE)

· Excellent Excel and financial systems knowledge

· A proactive, hands-on approach with strong communication skills

What's in it for you?

· Annual discretionary bonus

· NEST pension

· 23 days holiday plus Bank Holidays, increasing with service up to 28 days

· Full Christmas shutdown

· Comprehensive employee benefits and wellbeing package

· Free on-site parking

· Ongoing professional training and development
