As Accountant, you will report to the Financial Controller, with substantial interaction with the Finance Director and Regional Director.

As an integral part of our Finance Team, your responsibilities will include:

• Producing accurate monthly management accounts, including profit and loss, balance sheets, and cash flows, complete with insightful analysis and commentary.
• Ensuring all balance sheet accounts are fully reconciled and ledgers closed on time.
• Proactively managing working capital by delivering accurate stock reporting, driving timely debt collection, and overseeing supplier payments.
• Preparing annual budgets and statutory accounts, along with VAT, GST, and corporation tax returns.
• Managing cash flow forecasting and FX movements for overseas transactions.
• Providing payroll information to an outsourced service and ensuring timely approvals and payments.
• Contributing to process improvements by implementing and maintaining robust financial controls and procedures.
• Leading, mentoring, and supporting a skilled in-country finance team to achieve collective goals.

The organisation is looking for someone with a blend of technical skills and personal attributes, including:

• Professionally qualified or part-qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA), or qualified by experience.
• Proven experience preparing management accounts, controlling cash flow, and working with directors and business leaders.
• Experience managing junior staff and collaborating across multi-jurisdictional teams.
• Proficiency in Excel is essential; knowledge of Great Plains is desirable but not mandatory.
• A proactive, positive, and confident personality, capable of managing change effectively.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
• Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with a flair for presenting financial information clearly.
• Flexibility and a collaborative approach to work.
