Description
The Opportunity
Are you a proactive, enthusiastic and commercially aware qualified accountant (CIMA / ACCA / ACCA) looking for a challenging new role within an agile and growing SME (circa £15m turnover).
This is an ambitious SME amid a period of significant investment, change and growth (organic and potential acquisition led).
You’ll be reporting to the strategically focused Group CFO and be responsible for all day to day financial reporting and control for the business (managing a team of 3 in finance).
There’s tons to get stuck into alongside the BAU financial reporting / management accounting. You’ll have chance to get under the skin of the numbers to truly add value. You’ll have the freedom and autonomy to partner with non finance colleagues across the group to gain clear awareness of the drivers of cost, margin, sales and profit streams.
This is a fast paced SME amid change. You need to be a versatile, driven and astute accountant who will enjoy being part of a continuous improvement journey.
Step one is drilling into the currently monthly controls and reporting to make month end as slick and accurate as possible. From there you have loads of freedom to get into added value projects and “make a difference” activities.
Required:
• Previous experience of management accounts prep and presentation within a professional and reasonably complex SME.
• CIMA, ACA or ACCA fully qualified.
• Experience of enhancing existing reporting and ensuring that the pack is accurate and controls are robust.
• Great communication skills and ability to build relationships effectively.
• A proactive approach to solving problems alongside the MD and CFO.
• A hands on nature, you need to be absolutely comfortable getting stuck in and getting into the weeds of the finances, particularly in the first 6 months or so.
It’s a great opportunity for a confident, commercially savvy and tenacious qualified accountant.
