The role

Due to our rapid rate of expansion, the business is looking to recruit a senior position within the finance team.

The requirement for financial information and analysis increases year on year and this role will be working closely with senior members of the business to help them understand trends, costs and forecasts for their department.

Responsibilities will include evaluating financial performance, providing analysis of trends and forecasts and recommending actions for optimisation, analysing financial data and creating financial models to drive senior decision-making. The successful candidate will also need to have strong consultancy skills to advise, challenge and support the senior leaders to ensure the best outcomes for the business.
