It’s hands-on, technical, commercial, strategic, operational…This role gives exposure to every level of finance.

The business is looking for qualified finance professionals, ideally with experience using modern tech such as PowerBi and some experience within industrial industries i.e engineering or manufacturing. Experience working within growing SMEs would be the icing on the cake.
