You’ll ideally have:

• Part-qualified status with ACCA or CIMA
• Previous experience within a management accounting or similar finance role.
• Good knowledge of month-end processes, reconciliations and financial reporting.
• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with large volumes of financial data.
• Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to your work.
• The ability to analyse financial information and explain your findings clearly.
• Strong communication skills, with the confidence to work with stakeholders across the business.
• The ability to manage your own workload, meet deadlines and work effectively in a busy environment.

What’s On Offer?

This is a great opportunity to join a global organisation that can offer genuine career development and the chance to build on your existing accounting experience.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary and benefits package, along with a supportive environment where you’ll be given the opportunity to develop and progress your career.

If you’re a part-qualified accountant ready to take the next step and feel this could be the right opportunity for you, we’d love to hear from you.
