OUR CLIENT
Based in the Arundel area, our client is a specialist in technical safety and engineering services to a niche industry.

They are looking for a finance professional who understands technical workflows and can help modernise the way the back office operates.
YOUR ROLE
As the Finance & Business Support Lead, you will take ownership of the finance function and the data that drives it.

- Month-End Reporting: Preparing the General Ledger and monthly Trial Balances to a high standard for review.
- Process Improvement: Identifying manual data entry bottlenecks and introducing better digital tools or workflows to tighten the ship.
- General Administration: Maintaining the administrative standards required to support a specialised technical team.
