Financial Accountant

Due to expansion and internal progression, I’m working on a brilliant position for a newly qualified Accountant to join a leading international business as a Financial Accountant reporting directly into the Group Financial Controller. The position is based in Manchester City Centre with a hybrid working model.

You will be part of an ambitious team who are always looking to progress and push the business forward into different areas of the market. As a Financial Accountant, you will play a key role in managing the company's financial operations, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and supporting business growth.

Key responsibilities:

• Preparation of annual statutory accounts, working alongside the Group Financial Controller
• Completion of VAT returns, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements
• Preparation of budgets and forecasts on a monthly basis
• Maintenance of the balance sheet, including monthly review of all reconciliations and identification of any areas of risk or concern
• Support the business in financial decision-making and identifying areas for process improvement across the finance function

Key requirements:

• Newly qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA) looking for your first move from practice or with relevant industry experience
• Strong technical accounting skills with experience in a similar position
• Knowledge of UK GAAP and IFRS
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to communicate to other areas of the business

In return you will:

• Develop your commercial acumen, being involved in several high-profile projects across finance
• Work in a business that is highly acquisitive with proven progression plans already in place for their employees
• Gain the ability to actively build relationships, communicate and influence all relevant stakeholders
• Take ownership of projects and make a real impact on the business over the next few years

If you are a proactive and ambitious Financial Accountant looking for a new challenge, I’d love to hear from you. In return, you get to be a part of a dynamic, collaborative work environment with opportunities for career growth and development.
