Key responsibilities

• Manage the end‑to‑end monthly close process, including accruals, pre‑payments, inter‑company transactions, depreciation, and FX.
• Produce variance analysis isolating brand‑mix effects from one‑off items.
• Monitor the loan book, analyse repayment behaviour by cohort, and own provisioning and bad‑debt trends.
• Lead lender reporting, covenant compliance, drawdown documentation, and support due‑diligence processes.
• Act as a commercial partner to interrogate OEM economics, model new product launches, assess supply agreements, and build financial cases for board presentations and grant proposals.

• Experience: Demonstrable track record in finance management or a senior finance role, including hands‑on ownership of statutory and management reporting cycles.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep, applied IFRS knowledge—particularly IFRS 9, IFRS 16, IAS 21, and revenue recognition—with proven audit process management experience.
• Skills: Exceptional financial modelling and communication skills in Excel. Big 4 training (PwC, Deloitte, EY, KPMG) is a strong advantage.
