AAT Level 3 or 4 or be working towards an equivalent accounting qualification.
Previous experience in a finance or accounts role, ideally within a retail environment.
Good knowledge of accounting principles, VAT and relevant accounting standards.

Good written and verbal communication skills.
A proactive, organised and problem-solving approach.
