In a nutshell

Are you a numbers ninja with a passion for precision and a knack for financial control?

Do you thrive in environments where your inquisitive approach and leadership make a real difference?

This role is a little bit different; we know a thing or two about numbers so we know it will be challenging, but your precision and expertise will ensure our internal finance function is optimal. The impact you'll have, and therefore sense of achievement will be huge.

  • Lead, develop and motivate the Control Team.
  • Manage the Finance function in the absence of the Chief Financial Officer.
  • Produce annual financial statements for the LLP and group companies, including consolidation of subsidiary entities' results.
  • Deliver monthly management information reports across the firm and up to Board level.
  • Act as a lead on partner remuneration payment processes.
  • Oversee treasury management, banking, taxation, and company house requirements.
  • Maintain and develop control policies and procedures, including provision of training, guidance, and support to end users.
About you
  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or ACMA) with significant post-qualified experience.
  • Experience of working in professional services organisation and ideally within a partnership (LLP).
  • Extensive Team leadership and development experience.
  • Project management experience.
  • Thorough working knowledge of FRS.
  • Experience of financial systems development.
  • Strong MS Excel and ideally proficiency in MS SQL.
