The vacancy has come about as a result of sustained and organic growth and will commence as a full time, site based, permanent contract.

The successful candidate will act as finance-number-one and will play a key role in managing the end-to-end finance of a busy function.

This is a highly varied role with a large breadth of responsibility to include:

For this role we’re seeking an experienced candidate, either part/fully qualified ACA/ACCA/CIMA or qualified by vocational experience.

Suitable applicants should possess several years of recently gained high-level finance exposure and ideally have experience in managing a small team. The company has invested heavily in the use of technology and confidence in using cloud-based accounting platforms would be preferable.
