About the Opportunity

Are you an experienced, Qualified Accountant who enjoys rolling up your sleeves, taking ownership and getting involved in more than just the numbers? If you're looking for a role where the accounts are well-maintained and in good order, but the work itself offers plenty of variety, this could be the opportunity for you. You'll become part of a well-established business with a proud legacy, where your experience is valued and your contribution makes a genuine difference.

About the Employer

Our client is a well-established, privately owned business with a proud legacy and diverse interests spanning property, agriculture and other commercial operations. For over 20 years, the Chief Financial Officer has been a trusted and steady hand, overseeing the financial operations of the business. While retirement isn't quite on the horizon just yet, succession planning is underway.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will take ownership of the company's accounting functions, including monthly consolidations, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cashflow management across the group's various business entities.

You'll also provide guidance to accounting and administrative staff, including those working remotely, and contribute to operational matters and special projects as required.

Key Responsibilities

• Financial Reporting: Prepare monthly management accounts, annual financial statements and consolidated reports across multiple business entities.

• Stakeholder Reporting: Prepare financial reports for the CFO, Board and banks, liaising with financial advisers, insurers and other stakeholders.
• Team & Accounting Support: Oversee accounting and administrative staff, including remote teams, and assist with payroll and general accounting functions.
• Systems & Process Improvement: Review accounting systems, identify efficiencies and support future system upgrades and improvements.
• Business & Operational Support: Assist with property management, tenant enquiries, special projects, financial analysis and general office operations.

About You

We're looking for a practical, commercially astute Accountant who enjoys variety, takes initiative and is just as comfortable working through complex financial information as they are helping with everyday business matters. You will be confident managing accounting responsibilities independently, while enjoying the collaborative nature of working within a small team.

To be successful, you will bring:

• CA qualification – essential.
• Proven experience in a hands-on financial or company accounting role.
• Strong experience preparing and consolidating accounts across multiple entities.
• Excellent Excel skills, including pivot tables, spreadsheets and financial modelling.
• Sound knowledge of budgeting, forecasting, cashflow management and statutory compliance.
• Excellent organisational skills, accuracy and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Strong communication and relationship management skills.
• A practical, solutions-focused approach with sound commercial judgement.
• The ability to work autonomously while contributing positively to a small team.

Above all, we're looking for someone who is adaptable, approachable and happy to get involved wherever needed. Whether it's preparing consolidated financial reports, helping resolve an operational issue, answering a phone call or assisting with a tenant enquiry, you'll be someone who understands the value of being part of a small, collaborative business.
