  • ACA-qualified accountants (Top 10 / Big 4 preferred), though ACCA or CIMA may be considered
  • Strong post-qualification experience across industry, ideally combining SME and corporate exposure
  • Proven capability across technical accounting, FP&A, budgeting, forecasting and group reporting
  • Experience within multi-site businesses; international exposure beneficial
  • A proactive, hands‑on leader with a track record of developing teams
  • Someone commercially minded, collaborative and comfortable engaging across operational and commercial areas
