Job Description

If you've never worked in a manufacturing environment, this probably isn't the role for you.

Payroll preparation for approximately 110 employees

Business partnering with operational and budget managers

Producing ad hoc financial analysis and management reports

Supporting and developing a junior member of the finance team

Acting as a key user of the company's ERP system
