ACA or ACCA qualified with likely 5-8years PQE, you will be a progressive, insightful and influential leader with the ability to operate at both strategic and operational levels.
As an extremely strong technical accountant, with a proven ability to oversee the production of flawless monthly, half year and full year management and financial accounts, you will have an incredible eye for detail and the ability to spot errors and inconsistencies in the accounts, and through experience have the know-how to get them fixed.

Working as part of a high performing senior management team, you will lead and coach a large multi-disciplinary finance group.
