This role isn’t for everybody. Because the path and processes are not well
defined, this provides both a challenge and an opportunity. And whilst this allows you to put your own stamp on it, this level of ambiguity isn’t for everybody.

However, if you are an aspiring finance professional with high standards and
looking for a progressive career then read on!

Outside of the day job as a Senior Financial Accountant you’ll have the
opportunity to get involved in project related activities for ~25% of your time
thereby enhancing your credentials for bigger roles and even greater challenges.

You’ll be reporting into the Global Financial Controller. They won’t teach you how to do the day job, however they’ll provide you with unlimited project related opportunities to operate outside of your comfort zone and add significant value.

The key responsibilities of the Senior Financial Accountant are:
? Supporting Group consolidations in both UK and US GAAP
? Month end close
? Balance sheet reconciliations
? Managing and leading transactional teams
? Managing cash flow and FX risks
? Owning UK VAT and liaising with 3rd parties for other tax topics
? Improving the overall control framework
? Supporting external audits

Our client believes in treating people as professionals. They will not dictate
that home working occurs X times per week. They will expect you to manage
your own diary, operating where you will get the best outcome focusing on the
outputs not inputs. In order to embed yourself within the business successfully,
you’ll need to be able to build relationships and understand the context of the
business and their complex global operations. It is anticipated that the
successful candidate will be fully on-site for the first six months.

Although the company is number one in their industry they’re not resting on their laurels. They remain focused on a journey of continuous improvement.

Empowered. Autonomous. Trusted. Just three words to describe the company
and culture. So if you naturally have high expectations and standards for
yourself (and others) you will enjoy working here.

Benefits
? Base salary of £60k to £70k
? 35 days holiday (including bank holidays)
? Private Medical Insurance

Skills, experience and mindset to be successful
? A qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA or ACCA)
? Recent experience in UK GAAP
? Line management
? Ability to push back, challenge and influence others
? Have high standards of yourself in the pursuit of excellence

The Interview Process
? 45 minute TEAMS interview with the Global FC. This will occur before work
and around 7am
? 60 minute face to face meeting with both the MD and the direct reports of
this role

What you need to do now
If you want to move into a role which will accelerate your career, please apply.
