This is a high-quality business with strong financial governance and a collaborative senior finance team.

The Role

This is a newly created part-time position, working directly with the Group Finance Manager.

• Assisting with statutory accounts preparation across group entities


• Supporting the year-end audit process, acting as a key point of contact for auditor queries


• Identifying and implementing improvements to intercompany processes and controls


• Providing technical accounting support on group transactions as required

The role suits a qualified accountant who is confident working in a group environment and comfortable with the technical demands of intercompany accounting and consolidation.

Qualifications

• ACA or ACCA qualified

• Demonstrable experience in a group or multi-entity finance environment


• Strong technical grounding in intercompany accounting, eliminations, and consolidation


• Exposure to listed or regulated businesses would be advantageous

• Direct exposure to the Group Finance Manager with genuine scope to add value


• Opportunity to work within a well-structured listed business with real technical depth
