*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


Candidate Profile
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


Experience
*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

What’s on Offer
*Flexible part-time working pattern — open to discussion on days and hours
*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
