  • Ensure compliance with regulatory and tax reporting requirements (including FCA, VAT, and Corporation Tax)

  • Lead or support acquisition integration and liquidation activities for relevant entities

  • Partner with FP&A and wider business teams to provide financial insight, while driving continuous improvements in financial controls, processes, systems, and supporting ad hoc projects

Skills and Experience

  • Strong technical accounting knowledge

  • Experience working with ERP systems, including journal processing, with strong overall financial systems capability
