• Reviewing balance sheet reconciliations and strengthening financial reporting controls.
• Supporting board, investor and lender reporting packs, including covenant calculations.
• Driving process and systems improvements, including ERP or consolidation projects.
• Coaching and reviewing the work of junior team members.

Successful candidates will:

• Be ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualified.
• Have trained in Big 4 or top 10 audit, at Assistant Manager or Manager level.
• Have strong technical knowledge of IFRS and/or FRS 102.
• Bring experience of group audits, consolidation and statutory reporting.
• Be available to start within 1–4 weeks and comfortable on an interim contract.

The Details and Benefits:
