• Experienced in producing full management accounts.
• Strong technically, with a good understanding of month-end, reconciliations and financial reporting.
• Comfortable analysing financial information and explaining findings to non-finance stakeholders.
• Commercially minded, with the confidence to challenge and ask the right questions.
• Advanced in Excel and comfortable working with large volumes of financial data.
