The role is also responsible for all external audit, treasury and banking requirements in the UK.

You’ll report into the Head of Reporting & Accounting, acting as a right hand, and eventually a successor with the right development plan.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for a commercially experienced Qualified Accountant with a track record of working in similar financial reporting roles. Ideally, you’ll have a background in FMCG or experience working in the Big 4, but we’ll still consider applications with the appropriate transferable skills.

- Have a solid technical expertise, with a solid commercial understanding.
- Are full of energy, able to bring technical accounting to life and make exciting!

This is an excellent position for someone looking to invest time in the team, understand the function, put their arms around the processes and make it their own - so what are you waiting for?
As this role is office based, please note we currently operate a hybrid working framework which allows us to capture the benefits of both working in the office and at home. For full time roles, we work a minimum of 3 days in the office, a Tuesday and Thursday are for all, with the third day being defined by the colleague.
