Job description

£70,000 to £85,000 (dependent on experience) + bonus

A newly created role offering the opportunity to help develop the finance function of a growing listed group.

Our client is an expanding listed business with an extensive multi-year track record of robust growth in both revenue and profits. The group is creating a new role to add depth to its finance team to support the continued development of the business.

The Group is led by an experienced and highly regarded leadership team. We have worked with the business over a number of years and have observed a collaborative and enjoyable place to work, with a sensible approach to work-life balance.

Reporting to the Group Financial Controller, the role manages a team of 4 and has three main strands:

• Development and improvement of a robust financial control environment
• Support on integrating acquisitions, systems improvements and other groupwide projects

On the Reporting side, you will help prepare Group and subsidiary statutory accounts, produce technical accounting papers and coordinate the external audit.

On the Controls side, you will review financial processes across the Group, identify areas for improvement and help put practical changes in place that support the expansion of the business.

The combination of technical reporting, controls work and involvement across the business offers a strong foundation for longer-term progression towards a Financial Controller or Group Financial Controller role.

We are looking for an ACA or ACCA qualified accountant who trained with a large national firm. In addition to candidates who have already moved into industry, the company is open to considering experienced Audit Managers and Senior Audit Managers looking to make their first move from practice.

A broad and high profile role with management responsibility in a successful, growing listed business under excellent leadership combined with an excellent working environment makes this role a particularly appealing career move.
