Job description

Distinct Nottingham, England, United Kingdom

Group Accountant

Group Accountant | Central Nottingham (With Parking!) | £55,000 - £60,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Big enough to offer career progression, small enough to give you real autonomy.

This is a great opportunity to join a growing group function in a business that operates on a global scale but still has the pace and agility of an SME. If you're looking for a role where you can truly add value—not just from your desk but out in the business—this could be for you.

You'll be working closely with an experienced Group FC (Top 10 trained, 15+ years in industry) and stepping into a broad role that gives you exposure to both financial control and commercial decision-making. Whether it’s driving efficiency, overseeing reporting, or supporting senior leadership with budgets and forecasts, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of finance in this business.

What’s in it for you?

• A clear progression path—whether that’s stepping up to Head of Finance or moving into commercial finance/project roles.
• A flexible working environment—hybrid setup (2-3 days in the office) with genuinely flexible hours.
• Autonomy to shape processes, drive efficiencies, and make an impact.
• A competitive salary (£55,000 - £60,000) plus benefits including private healthcare & life assurance.

Who they’re looking for

• A qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA), ideally with experience in a larger group function (listed/PLC) or making a first/second move from practice/audit.
• Someone who enjoys problem-solving, influencing, and working across departments.
• Experience in project accounting, change management, or process improvement would be a bonus.
• You don’t need to be the finished article—attitude and mindset matter more than ticking every technical box.
