• Gather and consolidate the information required for the UK tax return, supporting the group’s external tax advisor through to completion.
• Review how group finance operates, pinpoint where it can be sharper, and help design and roll out improved ways of working across the teams.
• Be the trusted go-to for subsidiary finance teams, offering guidance on Oracle and wider finance processes, with occasional UK and international travel to support the business units.
• Provide support to group treasury as required, including payments and general ledger postings.
