Monitor financial performance against budget and provide meaningful analysis and recommendations.
Manage cash flow, working capital, and liquidity to support business objectives.

Commercial & Strategic Support

Provide financial insight and analysis to support business decision-making.
Identify opportunities to improve profitability, efficiency, and financial performance.
Support business growth initiatives, investment decisions, and operational improvements.

Experience within wholesale, distribution, retail, e-commerce, or related sectors would be advantageous.

Skills & Attributes

Commercially astute with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Excellent communication skills, capable of translating complex financial data into clear insights that support effective decision-making.
High level of integrity, professionalism, and attention to detail.
Proactive, adaptable, and capable of working autonomously.
