Barribal Associates are delighted to be working with a new client on an exciting opportunity with a well-regarded, exciting and high growth business.

This newly created position will jointly report to the Managing Director as well as the Group Finance Director and will see you take full responsibility for the Finance Department.

Your remit will include, but not be limited to:

• Responsible for all steps within the financial procedures (including raising invoices, processing supplier invoices, stock, bank payments and receipt allocation, payroll).

Your excellent interpersonal skills will build relationships with senior management and other stakeholders across the business, backed by a sharp intellect, visible work ethic, drive, ambition & resilience. But most important, will be your commitment to delivery, coupled with a career focussed desire to succeed.
