  • Delivering financial reporting outside of standard management accounts, including daily performance updates.
  • Supporting ad hoc financial projects, from process improvements to system integrations.

What’s In It for You?

  • Fast-track progression opportunities based on performance.
  • Annual performance-based bonus (10-20%).
