Change are excited to be partnering with our client to recruit a financial accountant to their team. Based in the centre of Glasgow, the role will be responsible for consolidated and entity level reporting, supporting and engaging with a range of stakeholders to deliver on numbers and analysis. The role is not a typical month end close position and will require individuals to challenge financial assumptions and build strong relationships within the business. Responsibilities spanning both the production of financial statements and month end balance sheet reporting, the successful applicant will join a business where they are given autonomy and stretch in their duties and role.

The role would suit a first time mover from Public Practice, applying their knowledge of financial statements and balance sheet controls, or an individual that is keen to progress their career and have ownership over a range of accounting issues and relationships with internal clients. Core skills will include;

• Leading in month end close activity and working closely with the business to validate and ensure the accuracy of balance sheet movements
• Responsible for month end ledger close and supporting commentary and analysis of movements
• Preparing and presenting financials to board and senior stakeholders to highlight trends and relevant movements
• Responsible for assisting and taking a lead in regulatory returns for the relevant entities under remit
• Proactively enhancing and looking for areas to improve outputs and production methods
• Strong communicator, both written and verbal

Applicants for the role will have a grounding from a similar role in Financial Services or industry and or have statement production or the auditing of financial statements from practice. A proactive nature and confidence in building rapport and relationships is key for the role and longer term development.

In return, the client offer a great opportunity to put either theory in to practice or further develop an existing skill set in a high profile and supportive team. Interested? Please get in touch to discuss further.
