- Support budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modelling across multiple business units.
- Drive continuous improvement in financial processes, reporting quality, and data integrity.
- Provide clear, concise financial insight to the Senior Leadership Team, with regular exposure and direct interaction.

Skills & Experience Required:
- Strong background in management accounting, FP&A, or commercial finance.
- Proven experience working with large data sets and building meaningful insight.
- Excellent stakeholder management - confident, credible, and able to challenge senior leaders.
- A qualified accountant with at least 2 years post qualification experience (ACA / CIMA / ACCA)
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to simplify complexity.
- Experience in cost allocation, cost modelling, or multi-entity environments.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving tech or SaaS-style business.
