At Mizkan Euro, we’re driven by curiosity, backed by heritage, and always looking forward. As we continue to grow and evolve, we’re looking for a hands-on, technically excellent finance leader to take the reins of our Financial Reporting & Control function; someone who’s excited by systems, thrives on structure, and brings meaning to the numbers.
This is more than just a reporting role. You’ll be stepping into a pivotal position, the right-hand to our Finance Director, helping shape our financial future through sound control, insightful reporting and smart automation.
If you’ve ever thought "there must be a better way to do this", and then gone and built it, we want to hear from you.
What you’ll be doing
- Leading the preparation of monthly management accounts, statutory accounts and consolidated group reporting, with clarity and confidence.
- Owning the audit process across UK and NL entities, building relationships with top-tier external auditors.
- Taking the lead on tax compliance, VAT returns and corporation tax across the Group.
- Driving cash flow forecasting and reporting, working with the wider team to ensure accurate and timely insight.
- Supporting the budgeting and forecasting cycle and challenging assumptions where needed.
- Partnering with our Executive Leadership Team on financial briefings, cost centre reviews and capital planning.

- Being the “number two” to the Finance Director, ready to step up and represent finance in her absence.
- ACA or ACCA qualified (ideally Top 4 trained), with strong grounding in audit and financial reporting.
- Experience managing or contributing to tax compliance processes.
- Confidence working across the full finance cycle: management accounts, statutory reporting, forecasting and control.
- An eye for simplification and a passion for making finance smarter, cleaner, and more connected.
- Strong commercial curiosity, you want to understand the business behind the numbers.
- Excellent communication skills, you're comfortable presenting to senior leaders and translating technical concepts into plain English.
- A calm and logical thinker, with the confidence to challenge, the resilience to improve, and the humility to learn.
- A self-sufficient, supportive finance team with two experienced direct reports (AP/AR and cost centre lead).
- The chance to lead and shape digital finance transformation projects.
- High visibility across the organisation: this is a role that matters.
- A collaborative and people-first culture, where new ideas are welcomed and improvement is encouraged.
