Job Description:
There’s a certain kind of Accountant who’s quietly brilliant.
Not the one ticking boxes for the sake of it, not the one hiding behind spreadsheets.
The one who actually understands what the numbers mean… the one who sees patterns before others do, who knows that good finance isn’t just reporting history - it’s shaping what happens next.
If that sounds like you, keep reading.
You’ll sit at the heart of the finance team, supporting everything from month-end close to forecasting, cashflow, and performance insight. This isn’t a siloed role, you’ll be working closely with stakeholders across the business, helping turn data into decisions.


What will you be doing?
*Owning key parts of the month-end close and management accounts process
*Reconciling balance sheet accounts with precision (and pride)
*Producing accurate, timely reporting in line with group deadlines
*Building and maintaining cashflow forecasts that people actually trust
*Supporting audit, VAT, and tax processes when needed
*Getting involved in budgeting and forecasting and not just compiling numbers, but understanding them
*Partnering with stakeholders to bring financial and non-financial data together
*Supporting supplier payments and day-to-day finance operations
*Spotting inefficiencies and improving processes (because "we’ve always done it this way" isn’t good enough)


What do you need?
*Experience in an accounting role and ACCA/CIMA Part Qualified
*Strong Excel skills (you’re comfortable, not cautious)
*High attention to detail - you notice what others miss
*Confidence to communicate with people at all levels
*Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
*A team player who actually enjoys being part of a team


What’s in it for you?
*An annual salary of up to £42k (depending on experience)
*Study support
*25 days annual leave + bank holidays
*Clear internal progression plan


You can take another role where you’re just closing the books each month… or you can take one where you help write the story behind them.
