Financial Accountant

Your new company We're working with a global, services-led organisation based in North Manchester that is continuing to invest in its finance function and is now looking to appoint a Financial Accountant. This is a great opportunity to join a well-established, international business where finance plays a visible and valued role in supporting operational and strategic decision-making.

Your new role The Financial Accountant will take ownership of core financial accounting activities, including balance sheet reconciliations, general ledger integrity, and the accurate management of accruals and prepayments as part of the month-end close. You'll also be heavily involved in inter-company accounting, working closely with stakeholders across the wider group to resolve differences, improve visibility and keep processes running smoothly.Beyond the numbers, this role offers real exposure to the wider business. You'll be liaising with finance and non-finance stakeholders, responding to queries, and providing clear, reliable information that supports confident decision-making. There's also a strong focus on monitoring and strengthening financial controls, ensuring compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, and supporting audit and statutory reporting activity.

What you'll need to succeed This role would suit a part-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) who is actively studying and has ideally gained experience within a larger or global organisation. You'll be comfortable working with an ERP system and keen to get involved in system improvements or process enhancements. A curious mindset, strong problem-solving ability and a high level of analytical skill are key, as is the ability to work collaboratively within a fast-paced, international environment.

What you'll get in return For someone looking to build strong technical foundations while gaining exposure to a global business, this is an excellent next step with scope to grow and develop. In return, hybrid working is available along with study support, 25 holidays, a pension, on-site parking and more.
