About Halfords


Halfords, a leading UK retailer of motoring, cycling, and leisure products, seeks an experienced Senior Controls Accountant to join its growing Group Controls Team.


This exciting role presents an opportunity to help build and grow the internal controls environment at Halfords, supporting projects with risk assessment and mitigation, and advising the business on risk and control matters.


The successful candidate will be responsible for monitoring and maintaining the risk and controls matrix in collaboration with the wider Controls Team, leading quarterly risk discussions within respective business process areas, and producing end-to-end process maps for new processes using Microsoft Visio.


Key requirements include a qualified accountant or internal auditor (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, MCIIA, CIA, or equivalent) with exposure to internal controls over financial reporting and controls testing. Strong analytical skills, a pragmatic approach, and attention to detail are essential.


Based out of the Support Centre in Redditch, Worcestershire, the role reports directly to the Group Financial Control Manager, who in turn reports to the Head of Financial Reporting and Control. The company offers a competitive salary, estimated to be around £45,000-£60,000 per annum, depending on experience.

  • Ability to interface with all levels of management, quickly build effective working relationships and internal networks both within and outside of the finance team.
  • Strong analytical skills, a pragmatic approach, and attention to detail.
  • Enthusiastic, keen to learn, proactive, and willing to challenge the status quo.
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information appropriately.

About the Role


This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of a dynamic team, contributing to the development and implementation of internal controls across the organization. If you are a results-driven professional with a passion for accounting and risk management, we encourage you to apply for this challenging and rewarding role.
