Assist in the preparation of financial reports for manufacturing KPIs (e.g. yield, efficiency, scrap rates). Provide timely and accurate financial data to the Finance Director to support strategic discussions with operations, supply chain, and commercial teams. Develop and maintain financial models and templates to support forecasting and budgeting cycles. Identify trends and anomalies in manufacturing performance and present findings in a clear, structured format. Support the annual budget and periodic forecasting processes by gathering inputs from operational teams and preparing initial analysis. Track actuals vs. forecast and highlight key variances for review. Work closely with the Financial Control team to ensure data integrity and consistency across systems. Assist with standard costing updates and BOM (Bill of Materials) reviews in collaboration with operations and costing teams. Support internal and external audit processes as required.

Skills & Experience

Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent). Experience in a manufacturing or product-based environment preferred. Strong Excel and financial modelling skills; with experience in SAP systems desirable. Excellent attention to detail and ability to work to tight deadlines. Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach.
