• Part Qualified Accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) – You’re on your way to full qualification and ready to show off your skills.
• Strong Excel Skills – Pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and complex formulas are your jam.
• Experience with Financial Reporting Systems – Whether it’s MicroStrategy, EDH, or something similar, you know your way around financial reporting tools.
• Attention to Detail – You spot the smallest errors and know how to fix them.
• Problem Solver – You’re not just here to report the numbers, but to improve the process too.
• Good Communicator – Whether it’s with teammates, managers, or auditors, you can explain complex financial info with ease.
