You will be committed to driving continuous improvement, and supporting the wider team in their provision of concise and insightful management information.
In terms of your outlook, you will need to be "hands on" in your approach to transactional finance..... it's a small and lean team, so rolling up sleeves and getting involved with ledgers will be part of your day to day...... but you will need to be able to kick it up a gear immerse yourself in the analytical and reporting process.
You must have a superb eye for detail; the quality of reporting will depend directly on the integrity of the data you are providing, so you need to work with a high degree of accuracy. You will be partnering across lots of different departments, so you must be a superb communicator.
Role will incorporate the following duties;

• Financial analysis

This is a great role that will see you taking accountability and supporting the Management Accountant in driving the financial performance of the business; it represents a key move for anyone who wants to become an Accountant in the manufacturing sector.

The location is rural..... so you will need to be able to get yourself to the site under your own steam. Although you will be able to adopt a hybrid work pattern once you know your way around the role, there will be an initial "on site" period...... and the option to work from home will always need to be factored around the needs of the business, so there could be times when you have to be on site more often than your anticipated 2 to 3 days. As such, having your own transport is going to be essential.

If you want to be considered, apply right now by uploading a current and accurate CV that highlights all your relevant experience. If you want to know a few more details, call Emma Lewis on .

I look forward to hearing from you!
