• Work closely with
  senior stakeholders to provide commercial insight and financial analysis.

  role.
  
• Strong experience
  managing audits, statutory reporting, and complex financial processes.
  
• Deep knowledge of UK
  accounting standards and regulatory requirements.
  
• Advanced Excel skills
