You should also have experience working in a busy office environment and be familiar with accounting processes. Strong numerate and analytical skills, effective interpersonal skills, and sound communication and organisational skills are crucial. You should be adept at handling demanding internal and external customers, work independently by taking initiative, and excel at prioritising your workload.

Desirable qualifications and skills include a working knowledge of HMRC's Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), the ability to work both independently and as part of a small team, self-discipline, initiative, and effective workload prioritization.
