Financial Accountant

Your new company
A growing and forward-thinking organisation based on the outskirts of Exeter is seeking a Financial Accountant to join its established finance team. With a strong focus on continuous improvement, systems development, and operational excellence, the business offers an exciting opportunity to become involved in both day-to-day financial accounting and wider financial transformation projects. The organisation operates a hybrid working model and provides a collaborative environment where finance plays a key role in supporting business growth.

Your new role
Reporting to the Group Financial Controller, you will take ownership of the financial management and reporting for a key group entity while supporting broader group accounting activities. Your responsibilities will include preparing management accounts, balance sheet reconciliations, revenue reconciliations, journal postings, and VAT returns. You will act as the main point of contact for external auditors, oversee client funds, and support month-end processes across the wider group. In addition, you will play an active role in financial transformation initiatives, helping to improve systems, controls, and reporting capabilities.

What you'll need to succeed
To be successful in this role, you will have previous experience in a Financial Accountant position, or similar finance position, with strong exposure to month-end accounting processes. You will possess a solid understanding of financial controls and reconciliations, alongside strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Advanced Excel skills are essential, and you will be comfortable managing multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy. Experience of revenue recognition, systems improvements, or working within a software or service-led environment would be advantageous but is not essential.

What you'll get in return
In return, you will receive a salary of up to £50,000 per annum, alongside the flexibility of hybrid working. You will have the opportunity to work within a growing organisation that values continuous improvement and professional development. The role offers broad exposure across a group finance function, involvement in key transformation projects, and the chance to make a genuine impact within a supportive and collaborative team environment.
