The Role:
Reporting to the Group Financial Controller and working closely with the UK and European Management Accountants, you will be responsible for providing finance administration support across multiple Group companies. You will manage sales and purchase ledger activities, assist with reconciliations and month-end processes, and provide holiday and sickness cover for key finance functions.

Strong attention to detail and excellent numerical skills.
Ability to prioritise workload and work effectively to deadlines.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with colleagues, suppliers and customers.
Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills.
Experience using finance systems, with Sage 200 experience desirable but not essential.
AAT qualification or studies would be advantageous, although not essential.
