Our ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (or qualified by relevant appropriate experience) and have relevant experience within industry or well-rounded accountancy practice experience. We'd especially like to hear from you if you have experience in the engineering sector and/or SMEs. However, we are open to candidates from different backgrounds.

As well as focusing on the fundamental financial activities, we're looking for someone who is curious and able to identify ways to make continuous improvements, whether that be a way of working, a process, or system. We're looking for someone that is able to build effective working relationships internally and externally, and is able to translate financial information into clear and concise business updates.
