This is a true sole-accountant position, offering broad ownership of the day-to-day finance function with direct exposure to the CFO and senior leadership. As the business continues to acquire and integrate new entities, you'll play a key role in bringing consistency and control to the group's financial reporting.

Responsibilities:

• Managing the full finance function on a day-to-day basis, with minimal support
• Preparing monthly management accounts and reporting to the CFO
• Being hands-on with purchase and sales ledger, bank reconciliations, and cash flow
• Supporting the integration of newly acquired entities into group finance processes
• Assisting with budgeting, forecasting and year-end audit preparation
• Liaising with external accountants/auditors as required

Previous Experience:

• Qualified or part-qualified accountant (ACCA/CIMA/ACA), or qualified by experience
• Prior experience operating as a sole accountant, or comfortable working autonomously in a lean finance team
• Experience in a fast-paced, acquisitive, or multi-entity business is highly advantageous
• Strong communication skills and confidence working closely with senior stakeholders
