You'll understand the fundamentals, but importantly you'll be someone who wants to go further than simply reporting what has already happened. You'll naturally want to ask: Why has this changed? What's driving the variance? Where are margins being squeezed? What can we learn from the numbers? You'll ideally bring strong Excel and analytical skills, experience of budgeting and forecasting, and the confidence to build relationships outside of finance. Experience within an operational, multi-site, manufacturing, logistics, engineering, waste or similarly fast-paced environment would be useful, but isn't essential. Alongside ACCA or CIMA study support, there's genuine scope to develop your career as the business and finance function continue to grow. Over time, you'll have the opportunity to increase your commercial exposure, work more closely with operational stakeholders and develop from traditional management accounting into a broader finance business partnering role. For an ambitious part-qualified accountant looking for a growing business where there is room to develop, this is a really interesting opportunity. This appointment is being managed exclusively by Eaton Syalon. For further information or a confidential conversation, please apply or contact the Eaton Syalon team directly.
