Getting involved in ad hoc projects-due diligence, funding proposals, cash flow forecasting-because variety is the spice of life. Assisting with audit planning and execution. Working closely with the tax team and external professionals to keep things slick. What You'll Need to SucceedYou'll probably have: ACA / ACCA qualification (or be close to it). A collaborative mindset but happy to fly solo when needed. Experience with accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks, IRIS, or CCH. Strong analytical chops and commercial awareness. Organisational skills that would make Marie Kondo proud. Communication skills that don't put people to sleep. What You'll Get in Return A culture that values collaboration over corporate nonsense.
