Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant
Knowsley
£50,000 - £60,000 + benefits

A high-growth, multi-entity business is looking to appoint a qualified Senior Accountant to support its expanding finance function.

This is an excellent opportunity for a practice-trained accountant-particularly someone moving from a mid-tier audit firm with experience managing a large client portfolio-to step into a broad, commercially focused industry role with real progression potential.

The Opportunity

The business has experienced strong growth in recent years and is evolving its finance structure to support a growing client base and group complexity. This role sits at the heart of the finance team, combining technical accounting, client reporting, and operational finance responsibilities.

You will work closely with senior stakeholders across finance and operations, gaining exposure to board-level reporting and playing a key role in improving financial processes and controls.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparation and review of management and statutory accounts across multiple entities


• Managing a portfolio of client accounts


• Production of quarterly and year-end financial statements


• Delivering accurate and timely financial reports for client and board meetings


• Supporting cash flow management and project funding reporting


• Overseeing billing processes and service charge reconciliations


• Managing AR/AP processes and vendor payments


• Acting as a key point of contact for client queries and financial matters


• Supporting offshore entities (non-audit environment) within the group structure


• Driving improvements in systems, controls, and reporting processes


• Providing guidance and support to junior team members

About You

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)


• Ideally trained within a mid-tier or Top 20 practice


• Experience managing a large audit/client portfolio, with exposure to multiple entities


• Strong technical accounting skills and experience producing full sets of accounts


• Confident communicator, comfortable working with clients and senior stakeholders


• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage competing priorities

Why Apply?

• Clear route for career progression as the business continues to scale


• Broad, varied role with significant exposure to leadership and clients


• Opportunity to move from practice into a commercial, hands-on environment


• Supportive team and collaborative culture


• Flexible working environment (hybrid options available once established)

If you are a practice-trained accountant looking for your first move into industry, or seeking a broader role with genuine progression, this is an opportunity to make a real impact in a growing business.
