The vacancy has come about as a result of sustained and organic growth and is offered as a full time, permanent contract to be based at the company’s modern offices close to Truro.

The successful candidate will assume lead responsibility in the management of the company’s financial health managing the end-to-end finance of a busy function. The role works as part of a small and experienced team but has broad interactions with colleagues across all departments, as well as external stakeholders and customers. This is a highly varied role with a large breadth of responsibility to include:

• Taking a lead role in ensuring efficient financial operations across the business
• Assist in the preparation of detailed monthly management report and offer commentary on areas of interest
• Supervision of the accounts payable, receivable and credit control functions

For this role we’re seeking an experienced candidate, either part/fully qualified ACA/ACCA/CIMA or qualified by vocational experience.

Suitable applicants should possess several years of recently gained high-level finance exposure and ideally have experience in managing a small team. The company has invested heavily in the use of technology and confidence in using cloud-based accounting platforms would be preferable.

This is an interesting and prosperous business and this opportunity represents a great time to join their friendly team.
