Your new company

Your new company is involved in the FMCG industry. A family owned enterprise which originated from very humble beginnings, it has bloomed into one of the major players in the domestic food market. This highly ambitious company is experiencing rapid growth (turnover growing by over 300% in the last decade) currently and plans to continue this expansion into the near future through a combination of organic growth, investment and acquisitions. The company boasts a terrific culture which strikes the balance between having a very professional structure within a close-knit, flat organisation. It is a brilliant opportunity to join a company on an upward trajectory in a position that will grow into a more senior role with time and progression.

You will have experience finalising accounts (in practice or industry) and completing bank res, processing invoices etc. A keen eye for detail is essential as are excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, as the role is highly collaborative.

What you'll get in return
