The Opportunity

The business has experienced strong growth in recent years and is evolving its finance structure to support a growing client base and group complexity. This role sits at the heart of the finance team, combining technical accounting, client reporting, and operational finance responsibilities.

Acting as a key point of contact for client queries and financial matters

Supporting offshore entities (non-audit environment) within the group structure

Providing guidance and support to junior team members

About You

Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)

Ideally trained within a mid-tier or Top 20 practice

Experience managing a large audit/client portfolio, with exposure to multiple entities

Strong technical accounting skills and experience producing full sets of accounts

Confident communicator, comfortable working with clients and senior stakeholders
