The role

You will be responsible for leading all management accounting activity for the CAVU Experiences division ensuring that accurate, and technically robust, management accounts are produced in a timely manner and in line with group finance service levels.

You’ll be required to build and maintain key relationships with Divisional Finance Directors, Senior Finance Manager, Head of Group F&A and external auditors.

You will also help drive a culture of continuous improvement within finance whilst supporting a robust financial control framework and be responsible for leadership of the team and implementing and driving a culture of best practice.
