Jobs in Leicester, Gran Bretaña

Are you an ACA / ACCA qualified finance professional seeking a hands-on role in a professional SME? You will be fully home-based for this one, managing all day-to-day financial reporting and control for a £10m turnover privately owned modern business.

You will also be comfortable wearing other hats in the business as a vital sounding board to the MD. You'll be that crucial 'critical friend' to the wider leadership team (including the MD) - reviewing the financials, managing relationships with external stakeholders, and providing insight and thoughts into opportunity and risk across the group.

It's a sleeves-rolled-up position - transactional finance and the nuts and bolts of AP / AR is outsourced, but you must be comfortable drilling into the nitty-gritty if required. A reasonable amount of your time is also spent on non-core finance tasks - offering common sense insight around decision-making, opportunity, and risk across the business.

All of the role is done at arm's length (working remotely) so you must be skilled and experienced in a remote-based role, ideally. You need to be comfortable building relationships via Phone / Teams / Zoom.

It's a role offering incredible work-life balance - full-time but with autonomy to manage your workload as you see fit - and with zero commute! The senior leaders meet face-to-face once per month.

This is a business that adds real value to their customers and has a social purpose at the heart of their mission.

The successful candidate will have:

• Ability to start in August / September.
• ACCA / ACA qualified, ideally.
• Experience of financial reporting / control in a smaller business.
• A professional and methodical approach to managing deadlines / workload / priorities.
• Ability to develop strong working relationships with external stakeholders (banks / insurance providers / auditors, etc).
• Confidence when working remotely - reporting directly to an MD.
