· Monthly management reports can be pulled reliably

· Cash flow is closely monitored and protected

This is not a bookkeeping role. It is a control, oversight, and performance-monitoring role, providing clarity and confidence in the numbers.

You will work closely with the Managing Director and external advisers, ensuring financial information supports good operational and strategic decision-making.
