We’re looking for an experienced Finance Officer to join a high performing, welcoming team on a 6-month contract. This is a hands-on role for someone with a strong understanding of accounting principles and the confidence to work across the full ledger and month-end process.

  • Strong full ledger knowledge and confidence working across the ledger.
  • Experience supporting the month-end close process, including posting journals through to the ledger.

This is a great opportunity for a technically strong finance professional who can hit the ground running, work accurately to tight deadlines and bring a hands-on approach to the month-end process.
