Strong understanding of financial statements, cash flow analysis and KPIs.

Clear communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to make financial information accessible to non-finance colleagues.
Experience in a project environment, the energy or construction sectors, financial management software such as Sage Intacct, or tendering activity would be advantageous rather than essential.
