    About the job

    The Role
    This position reports directly to the Head of Finance and is perfect for a technically strong accountant who wants to take the next step into management accounting, controlling, or commercial business partnering.

    You'll be responsible for managing key financial reporting, supporting month-end close, overseeing liquidity planning, and helping drive improvements across both finance operations and wider business processes.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Lead on P&L and balance sheet reporting for month-end close and financial planning.

    • Collaborate with Financial Accounting, Treasury, and AR teams to coordinate account reconciliations.

    • Act as the FP&A team's primary point of contact for internal liquidity forecasting and treasury reporting.

    • Produce insightful P&L and HQ-level commentary ahead of reviews with the Head of Finance.

    • Coordinate and deliver technical elements of financial planning, including budget and forecast submissions.

    • Support the development and enforcement of group accounting and controlling guidelines.

    • Drive cash flow forecasting and provide insight to support strategic decisions.

    • Identify and implement continuous improvements in financial processes and reporting systems.

    About You

    • Qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA, or ACA) with experience in a finance or FP&A environment.

    • Strong understanding of financial planning, analysis, and reporting processes.

    • Detail-oriented with a proactive mindset-comfortable taking ownership and pushing for better ways of working.

    • Exposure to SAP and BI tools (e.g., Business Objects) is a plus, but not essential.

    • Thrives in fast-paced, engineering or project-based environments.
