About You
We're looking for a fully qualified accountant with 5+ years' post-qualification experience, ideally gained within a manufacturing, SME or project-based environment.
You'll need strong technical accounting and financial control experience, alongside the confidence to operate autonomously, influence stakeholders and lead a small finance team.
Experience with IFRS / US GAAP and IFS would be advantageous.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is commercially minded, analytical, hands-on and comfortable operating in a complex environment.
If you're a qualified Financial Controller, Finance Manager or Senior Finance professional and the idea of £85-90k, a 4-day working week and every Friday off appeals, I'd be very keen to speak with you.
