• Maintain fixed asset registers and capital expenditure records, including additions, disposals and depreciation.
• Monitor expenditure against budgets and investigate significant variances.
• Prepare and maintain budgets, forecasts and cash-flow forecasts.
• Maintain debt, hire-purchase and covenant schedules.
• Reconcile revenue and customer finance information between operational and accounting systems.

• Take ownership of finance projects covering process improvement, automation and systems development.
• Support the financial integration of new sites and acquisitions.
• Work with external system providers to test changes and strengthen financial controls.
• Document processes and help build effective cover across the finance function.
