You'll also present results directly to divisional MDs, so this suits someone who's comfortable explaining numbers to non-finance stakeholders as well as producing them.Alongside the accounts side, there's a genuine treasury dimension: weekly and rolling 13-week cashflow forecasting, day-to-day cash movement decisions, payment approvals, and working capital reporting.
