• Hybrid working model (Monday in office essential)

• Potential opportunity to be considered for a permanent role

You will be joining a collaborative and sociable open-plan environment, working closely with experienced finance leaders who adopt a hands-off, trusting management style while remaining approachable and supportive.

Assisting with VAT returns
Supporting actual vs budget analysis and updating reporting schedules
Producing ad hoc analysis as required
Liaising with transactional finance and procurement teams to ensure accurate coding

The priority for this contract is stability and continuity. You will be expected to take ownership quickly, ask the right questions, and keep reporting cycles on track with minimal supervision.

You

To be successful in this interim role, you will:

Have experience in a similar management accounts role
Be confident posting journals and preparing accruals and prepayments
Have strong Excel skills, including pivot tables and complex formulas
Be comfortable working with finance systems (NetSuite experience beneficial but not essential)
