You'll have the opportunity to learn what makes businesses tick from an integrated financial, commercial, strategic, and business planning perspective.
Build the exposure and experience you need to pursue your accounting career path and professional qualifications, with rotations through a range of areas which may include:
- Group treasury (Financial Transactions, Business Improvement, Funding, Financial control and Statutory reporting, Annual report).
- Group financial strategy (Annual and Long-Term Plan, Data Management)
- Financial advisory (Finance business partnering, commercial advisory, financial planning)
- Procurement (Contract management)
