Financial Accountant

Robert Half are working with a renowned Glasgow-based organisation who are hiring a new Financial Accountant on a permanent basis. The position is well suited to a qualified accountant seeking a new role in a high-performing, experienced finance team based in a fantastic new city-centre office. This role offers a wide breadth of opportunities and varied work and is particularly suited to a qualified CA looking to step out of practice and into industry. That being said, I am also keen to discuss with any interested candidates who have built their experience purely within industry and commerce (ACCA/CIMA).

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, the successful candidate will undertake a diverse array of tasks, including but not limited to:

• Comprehensive month-end accounts preparation for one of the group's primary trading entities.
• Preparation of financial statements for multiple legal entities.
• Extensive involvement in the external audit process.
• Assistance with daily cash management.
• Provision of technical accounting support.
• Initiating process enhancements.
• Aiding in the formulation of budgets and forecasts.
• Reporting performance metrics to key stakeholders.
• Analysing profit and loss statements; comparing actuals to budget and forecasts.
• Supporting the Financial Controller with ad hoc tasks and projects.

Skills and Experience

• Fully qualified chartered accountant (ICAS, ACCA, CIMA).
• Previous experience in accounts preparation using Excel or accounts production software.
• Proficiency in FRS 102 and group accounting.
• Strong interpersonal and communication abilities.
• Capability to work autonomously with initiative.
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
• Demonstrated ownership and pride in work.
• Proficient IT skills and advanced Excel proficiency.
• Strong team-oriented mindset.
• Previous experience with Sage software (advantageous but not mandatory).
• Awareness of the FCA environment (advantageous but not mandatory).

Salary will be within a range of £45,000 - £55,000 plus a generous benefits package and a nine-day fortnight working pattern option.
