What you'll need to succeed

We are looking for a talented recently qualified (or experienced Part Qualified or Finalist), ideally from a manufacturing/FMCG background but aptitude, energy & passion are just as important, as is the desire to learn and develop.

Great for someone who is a natural self-starter and a solution finder.

Someone with a solid understanding of the month end routine and with excellent IT skills, particularly with Microsoft Excel and ideally with some experience of SAGE. Someone precise who takes pride in attention to detail, and has strong organisational and time management skills as well as good interpersonal skills. Someone able to develop strong working relationships with others and is able to relay complex financial information to non-financial people appropriately.

They offer a competitive salary and benefits package dependent on experience and qualification level.
