  • Inventory reconciliations
  • Assisting with average costing and production variance analysis
  • Intrastat returns
  • Assisting with VAT returns

Acting as the Assistant to the Financial Controller, you will demonstrate a genuine desire to be part of a small, 'hands on' and busy team.

Key skills and experience:

  • AAT qualified (or equivalent)
  • Previous experience within a finance team preparing management reporting
  • Advanced Excel skills
  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy
