Operating through several divisions and with turnover in excess of £100m, they have enjoyed impressive growth and expansion and have recently become part of a global company.


The successful candidate will be joining the business during an exciting period of change and integration, part of which will involve transitioning over to a new ERP system and the development of more robust controls, reporting and analysis processes. The ideal person will therefore have a good amount of experience in corporate financial reporting, control and compliance, with expertise in IFRS and UK GAAP. A key part of this role will involve working with and developing high performance teams whilst driving accountability and continuous improvement with colleagues on site and stakeholders internationally.


Main responsibilities:
• Supporting the development of "best in class" financial reporting
• IFRS group reporting and consolidations
• UK GAAP statutory reporting (FRS 101 / FRS 102)
• Month-end and year-end close ownership
• Cross-functional stakeholder engagement
• External and internal audit coordination

Desired candidate profile
• Strong, credible presence with the ability to motivate and mentor teams
• Rapid learner who quickly adapts to new systems, regulations, and business models
• Commercial awareness with excellent analytical and problem-solving capability
• High attention to detail with strong governance / compliance mindset
• Confident communicator across all organisational levels
• Strong financial accounting / technical pedigree
