Financial Accountant

I'm partnering with an ambitious, acquisitive group in Dudley to recruit a Financial Accountant into their central finance team, reporting directly to the Group Financial Controller.

The business is growing through acquisition and this role sits right at the centre of it. You'll lead the accounting on new deals and help bring acquired businesses into the group, exposure that will set you up well for a Financial Controller path.

What you'll be doing

Owning the group monthly consolidation and balance sheet reconciliations

Leading acquisition accounting, including purchase price allocations and fair value assessments

Supporting the integration of acquired businesses into group processes and controls

Acting as the FRS102 lead, assessing complex transactions and preparing technical papers

Producing daily cash reporting and maintaining cash flow forecasts

Supporting partner accounting, profit allocation and tax reporting information

Working with auditors on statutory accounts and technical matters

Driving improvements in controls, reporting and finance processes

What they're looking for

ACA or ACCA qualified, ideally in a practice environment

Strong, practical FRS102 knowledge

Balance sheet reconciliation experience in a multi entity or complex environment

Cash flow reporting and forecasting experience

Confident explaining technical accounting to non finance colleagues

Partner accounting or partnership experience is a bonus, not essential

The package

Salary up to £60,000 plus benefits

Hybrid working, two days a week in the Dudley office

Direct exposure to group level M&A activity
