• Proven experience in a finance leadership role, particularly within transactional finance.
• A strong people manager with a passion for mentoring and developing teams.
• Hands-on expertise in AP, AR, and credit control processes.
• Advanced skills in financial systems; experience with Microsoft Dynamics is highly advantageous.
• Strong analytical and organisational skills with an eye for detail.
• Ideally AAT qualified or qualified by experience, though this is not essential.

What’s on Offer?

• Competitive salary of £45,000 - £48,000.
• Hybrid working after probation (minimum three days in the office).
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
• Access to a discretionary bonus scheme, medical cashback plan, and death-in-service benefit.
