Reporting to the Group Head of Finance we are looking for a Financial Accountant to contribute to the strategic growth of the business through your analysis, your understanding of what our data tells us about our underlying business, and your ability to provide clarity to our Leadership Team in order to facilitate their decision-making. This role will also manage our Accounts department, which is a team of four.
This role is suited to someone who is a forward-thinking, driven individual with a passion for numbers and a strong desire to make a significant impact.
The role would suit someone who is a qualified accountant, or possibly QBE. All training will be provided to manage the everyday tasks the role will be responsible for.
 
Here are just a few reasons why this Financial Accountant role could be the perfect long-term destination for your career:
  • Impactful Contribution: Your analysis and insights will directly influence strategic business decisions, ensuring that we continue to thrive in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

  • Ensuring the preparation of monthly management accounts are accurate and on time by managing and supporting the Accounts team to ensure all journals are posted and all balance sheet control accounts are balanced each month.

  • Partnering with transactional Finance teams to problem solve and look for efficiencies in the way our work is delivered. All our Finance teams are closely integrated with one another, and this requires a collaborative style of work amongst the Finance heads.
