The successful candidate will work closely with the Finance Manager, assisting with month-end reporting, management accounts preparation, stock reconciliations, cost analysis, and operational finance activities. This position requires a strong grounding in accounting principles rather than a purely commercial finance or business partnering background.

- Perform stock and inventory reconciliations and investigate variances.
- Maintain accurate accounting entries relating to stock movements and inventory transactions.

- Produce financial reports and analysis to support operational decision-making.
- Work closely with manufacturing and operational teams to ensure financial accuracy of stock, inventory, and production data.
- Assist with budgeting and forecasting activities.
