This role is working as part of a small accounting and business support firm, providing accountancy and other "back office" services to a global portfolio of financial services companies.

In this role, you'll work closely with the FD and deputise for them in their absence; you will also take full accountability for the UK office while the FD is overseas.

Based at pleasant offices (with onsite parking!) in Ampthill, Bedfordshire - easily commutable from Bedford, Milton Keynes and Luton.

• Producing monthly management accounts
• Budgets and forecasts
• Treasury and cash management
• Global reporting pack production
• VAT, PAYE and Corporation tax

Plus overseeing functions such as accounts payable, credit control, annual audit, upgrading finance systems, review of accounting processes, etc.

Basic salary up to £80,000 for a candidate that ticks all the boxes in terms of experience, along with excellent benefits including annual bonus, life cover (4 x salary) and family level private medical cover.

This is an exciting role where you will be working at a senior level, assessing and advising business owners on future investments, helping set up new companies, introduce new systems, etc.

You should be a Qualified Accountant - at least 5 years PQE - holding either ACA, ACCA or CIMA, with IFRS 17 experience and having worked with SAGE accounting software.

Interested? If you have experience working in global organisations (ideally Africa and the Middle East) then we'd be happy to hear from you - apply today!
