Deliver accurate and timely financial information, including variance analysis and recommendations for next steps

Work with non-finance managers to drive effective budgeting and forecasting processes

Provide hands-on financial and business support to Regional Directors and parks, including training Head of Departments on understanding financial performance

Support the development of early warning indicators beyond standard variance analysis

Lead or contribute to cost efficiency and performance improvement programmes where required

Attend parks regularly to provide in-person support, onboarding and financial training

About you...

Fully qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with several years’ post-qualification experience

Ideally experienced within leisure, hospitality or multi-site operations

Strong background in finance business partnering at senior management and director level

Exceptional financial analysis skills, with the ability to interpret and present complex data clearly

Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills; TM1 experience desirable but not essential

Must be Devon/Dorset based and able to travel regularly across the region
