My client is a privately owned SME business, with a long history and progressive growth plans to increase both market share and add new ventures.  Working closely with the MD and local management team, this role has two chief aims; to ensure that the organisation has first class internal controls, reporting and procedures on a day to day basis and to provide commercial and strategic support to key decision making.  You`ll have the support of a small finance team but will undoubtedly enjoy and revel in a hands on role that will see you in the thick of the day to day workings of the business.
