Company Overview

Your new company is a market-leading Irish manufacturing organisation with a significant international footprint and a reputation for operational excellence. Employing thousands of people across Ireland, the UK, and mainland Europe, the business continues to invest heavily in its people, systems, and operations while maintaining a strong commitment to long-term growth and career development.

This is an organisation where talented individuals are recognised and given the opportunity to progress. Many members of the leadership team have built their careers internally, creating a culture that values ambition, hard work, and a willingness to learn. With a collaborative and down-to-earth environment, it offers an excellent platform for accountants looking to build a long-term career within industry.

The Role

Reporting to an experienced finance leadership team, this role offers a broad blend of financial accounting, management accounting, and commercial finance exposure within a large-scale manufacturing environment.

Initially, the focus will be on developing a strong foundation across month-end close, financial reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, controls, statutory reporting, and audit support. As you become established in the role, you will gain increasing exposure to operational finance, cost accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis.

You will work closely with both finance and operational stakeholders, supporting decision-making across the business while developing a deeper understanding of manufacturing operations and the commercial drivers of performance.

The successful candidate will join a highly experienced finance team with significant mentorship available, providing an outstanding learning environment for someone looking to broaden their skillset and accelerate their career development.

Perhaps most importantly, this role offers genuine progression opportunities. With planned succession requirements expected within the finance team over the coming years, there is a clear pathway for ambitious individuals to develop towards Finance Manager and Financial Controller level positions in the medium term.

The Ideal Candidate

The company is far more focused on attitude and potential than finding a perfect CV.

You may be a recently qualified accountant making your first move into industry, or an experienced finance professional seeking a stable long-term opportunity within a successful organisation. Equally, candidates already working within industry who are looking to gain exposure to a larger and more complex business environment will be strongly considered.

The successful candidate will possess:

• A professional accounting qualification - open to all levels of experience.
• Strong financial accounting fundamentals.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to get involved across the business.
• A strong work ethic and desire to learn.
• The ability to build effective relationships across finance and operations.

Experience within manufacturing would be advantageous but is not essential. This role would be particularly attractive to someone looking to make their first move into manufacturing, offering exceptional exposure, mentorship, and long-term career prospects within a highly regarded finance team.

What's On Offer

This is a rare opportunity to join a well-established organisation that combines the resources, stability, and career opportunities of a large multinational business with the collaborative culture of a regional operation.

The successful candidate will gain exposure across both financial accounting and management accounting disciplines, developing a comprehensive understanding of how finance supports operational and commercial performance within a manufacturing environment.

You will benefit from direct mentorship from experienced finance leaders, structured career development, and the opportunity to build expertise in cost accounting, commercial finance, budgeting, forecasting, and business partnering. As opportunities arise, there is also potential to progress into broader finance leadership or group finance positions within the wider organisation.

• competitive salary package
• pension contributions
• annual leave
• flexible start and finish times
• straightforward two-stage interview process

For ambitious accountants seeking genuine career progression, excellent mentorship, and the opportunity to establish themselves within a leading manufacturing business, this represents an outstanding opportunity.
