• Delivering financial models and what-if scenario analysis
• Presenting insights and recommendations to non-financial stakeholders
• Ensuring accurate financial controls, accruals, and reconciliations are maintained
• Identifying opportunities for reporting and process improvements

What You Bring

You're a motivated finance professional with a strong mix of analytical ability and commercial curiosity. You enjoy digging into the numbers, but also thrive in stakeholder conversations where you can translate data into impact.

Ideal profile:

• 3-5 years' experience in chartered (Big 4 or mid-tier) or a similar analytical finance role
• CA qualified or near-completion
• Ready to make your first move into industry
• Strong Excel and financial modelling skills; ERP system experience (e.g. SAP) an advantage
• Excellent communication skills and stakeholder engagement ability
• Comfortable managing deadlines, juggling competing priorities, and operating with agility

Why Join?
