Ready to deliver accurate, insightful and high-quality financial reporting for Specsavers Support Office group companies?
As a Financial Accountant, you’ll take the lead in month-end activities, shape annual statutory accounts, and play a key role in keeping the group audit running seamlessly. Working closely with colleagues across finance, you’ll build a deep understanding of how our numbers come together and help maintain a strong control environment built on clarity, consistency and trust.
Day to day, you’ll produce accurate balance sheet reconciliations, manage intercompany transactions and investigate discrepancies, ensuring our reporting is reliable and compliant with group-wide standards. You’ll prepare statutory accounts for our Support Office entities and apply your technical accounting expertise to a variety of queries and projects. You’ll also handle auditor requests with ease, supported by well-organised documentation and thoughtful, accurate responses.
Collaboration will be central to your role. You’ll partner with financial and non-financial teams to understand the story behind the numbers and keep us aligned and compliant. You’ll lead the working papers for key balance sheet areas, take the audit lead on one of the audited entities, and provide supportive line management to an analyst. You’ll also contribute to cross-functional projects that enhance processes and drive greater efficiency across the function.
You’ll be a qualified or newly qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA or CIMA) with strong, up-to-date technical accounting knowledge and experience in statutory accounting. Confident in Excel and comfortable working with large data sets, you’ll bring accuracy, clarity and a proactive, solutions-focused approach to your work.
This role closes on 11th March 2026: however, we may close the advert sooner if we get inundated with high-quality applications. Apply now – you’ll be pleased that you did.
