  • Identify process inefficiencies and control gaps and implement practical improvements.
  • Maintain clear and accurate process and project documentation.

About You

  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
  • 3–5 years' post-qualified experience, ideally within Group Finance, financial control or a transformation environment.
  • Experience in finance systems implementation, process improvement or finance transformation.
  • Strong understanding of financial controls and accounting processes.
  • Experience with VAT, indirect tax and/or payroll taxes across multiple jurisdictions is desirable but not essential.
  • Experience developing and implementing SOPs, policies and process documentation.
  • Strong Excel skills and familiarity with financial systems/ERPs.
  • Experience managing projects and working with multiple stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Pragmatic, hands-on approach with the ability to take ownership and deliver practical improvements.

  • Opportunity to work closely with the CFO on key Finance projects.
  • Exposure to systems implementation, process improvement and business transformation.
