About the Role
We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Finance Executive to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who has gained some finance, accounts, bookkeeping, or finance administration experience and is looking to further develop their career within a supportive and growing organisation. The successful candidate will support the day-to-day financial operations of the business, ensuring accurate processing of financial information and providing professional support to customers, suppliers, and colleagues. While previous finance experience is preferred, we are primarily looking for someone with excellent attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and a positive, proactive approach.
