Partner with operational leaders to drive performance and profitability
Provide insightful financial analysis and commentary to support decision-making
Lead budgeting and forecasting processes
Ensure robust financial controls, balance sheet reconciliations, and compliance
Oversee labour cost integration and reporting (including payroll systems)

✅ Strong commercial acumen with a proactive mindset
✅ Experience in SME or industry environments
