• Automate manual processes using Power Query, Power Automate, or similar tools to enhance efficiency and accuracy

• Accurate, insightful, and timely financial dashboards used by decision-makers
• Measurable improvements in process efficiency and automation
• Increased confidence and adoption of digital reporting tools across the finance team
• A proactive and data-informed finance function that collaborates effectively with other departments

You’ll bring :

• Financial Acumen : Experience in finance operations, reporting, or systems accounting
• Analytical & Technical Skills : Proficiency in Power BI, Excel Power Tools, and data visualisation. Experience with automation tools (e.g. Power Automate, Alteryx, or similar) is a plus
