The company is well established in its field and has refined its offering to the marketplace as well as diversified its revenue channels and is still evolving as we speak. What you see is what you get within the team and therefore we need an open and technically strong yet commercially focused individual, who can add value across the business and support their continued growth.

• Provide guidance and support to the small finance team

In addition, the ideal candidate will be highly organised with excellent problem-solving capabilities and excellent communication skills that enable them to present their financial information clearly. They should be commercially minded and understand how businesses operate across all internal areas of the organisation, developing accountability and controls.

The company has good feel factor and team ethic, with a clear focus on the future. In return you will be offered a good benefits package, achievable bonus, and usual pension/holidays etc. If you are looking to make your mark in a senior role within all areas of the operation, then this would be an ideal opportunity to continue the growth of the business as the financial lead.
