- Location: Mostly home based, with key regular visits to a central location in the UK
- Benefits: 26 days annual leave, plus statutory days, Pension and KPIS based.
What you'll own
Financial operations and reporting
- Prepare timely, accurate financial statements and management reports;
- Lead month end and year end close;
- Pull together analysis on profitability and contribution margin by division, client and product.
