- Has operated under IFRS or UK GAAP
- Creates energy in their teams and an environment that fosters trust, collaboration, and belonging
- A relentless focus on quality and timeliness
- You adapt to change, embrace bold ideas, and are intellectually curious. You like to ask questions, test assumptions, and challenge conventional thinking

**Desirable**
- Exposure to US GAAP
- Systems: Workday, Google suite, Oracle

**Where and how you'll work**

This is a permanent position and can be based in either our Nottingham or London offices. Your team is located mainly in Nottingham - and so if based in London we’d expect you to travel between offices approx 3 times a month.

We’re big on collaboration and connection, so you’ll be based in our Nottingham or London office 3 days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

**What’s in it for you**
- Bring us all this - and you’ll be well rewarded with a role contributing to the roadmap of an organisation committed to transformation
- We offer high performers strong and diverse career progression, investing heavily in developing great people through our Capital One University training programmes (and appropriate external providers)
- Immediate access to our core benefits including pension scheme, bonus, generous holiday entitlement and private medical insurance - with flexible benefits available including season-ticket loans, cycle to work scheme and enhanced parental leave
- Open-plan workspaces and accessible facilities designed to inspire and support you. Our Nottingham head-office has a fully-serviced gym, subsidised restaurant, mindfulness and music rooms. In London, you can heighten your mood with a run on our rooftop running track or an espresso at the Workshop Coffee café
