You will report to and work closely with the FinancialController, giving you direct exposure to the wider financial management of thebusiness.

About You

You are likely to be someone who has already developed agood grounding in accounting but wants the opportunity to broaden yourexperience and take on more responsibility.

You might currently be working as a:

• Management Accountant
  
• Assistant Management Accountant
  
• Assistant Accountant
  
• Senior Finance Assistant
  

The exact job title matters less than your ability andappetite to step up.

You will have:

• Experience with Sage 50 Accounts
  
• Strong practical accounting knowledge
  
• Experience with reconciliations, journals, accruals and prepayments
  
• Good Excel skills and confidence working with finance systems
  
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
  
• The ability to organise your own workload and manage multiple deadlines
  
• A practical, hands-on approach
  
• The confidence to investigate problems and work things out rather than waiting to be shown every step
  

An AAT qualification, or progress towards ACCA or CIMA,would also be valuable, but practical ability and the desire to develop arejust as important.

Building Your Finance Career

This role is particularly well suited to someone who wantsto spend the next few years becoming a genuinely rounded finance professional.

Rather than being confined to one part of an accountingfunction, you will gain practical experience across management accounts, cashflow, forecasting, budgeting, balance-sheet control, payments, payroll, taxsubmissions, stock and operational finance.

You will work closely with an experienced FinancialController and senior people across the business, giving you a much broaderunderstanding of how finance supports a growing company.

For the right person, that should provide an excellentplatform for the next stage of a career in finance.
