  • Overseeing the production and accuracy of monthly management reports including expenditure versus budget and forecast, cashflow actuals and forecast, divergence analysis, commentary and consolidation.
  • Preparation of financials for monthly Board packs, including financial analysis.
  • Ad-hoc project assistance.


The candidate:

  • Qualified accountant - ACA, CA, ACCA, ACMA, CPA or equivalent - with a background in a similar senior corporate accounting position at Finance Manager or Financial Controller level; must have hands on experience and be happy to prepare all relevant accounts and reports/packs (supported by a PQ).
