Our client is a well-established, large-scale organisation undergoing significant finance transformation. With legacy systems being modernised, reporting and controls being strengthened, and processes being improved, this is a genuine hands-on, build-and-fix role where you will have the chance to make a visible impact.

Working closely with the Financial Controller and wider Finance team, you will play a key role across financial reporting, technical accounting, financial modelling and process improvement.

- Support inventory reconciliation and investigate recurring system-to-ledger variances.
- Develop and maintain financial models, forecasts and analysis to support business decision-making.
- Identify and implement process improvements, automation and stronger financial controls.
- Extract and manipulate data from legacy systems and automate AP/AR and other finance processes using advanced Excel.




- Support technical accounting requirements and key finance projects.
- Partner with the Financial Controller and broader Finance team to deliver accurate and timely reporting.

About You:

- CA/CPA qualification with substantial hands-on industry experience.
