What is expected of you

We are looking for an experienced management accountant, who will work well in a busy, long-standing team. You are confident, autonomous, and not afraid to speak up. You will be able to see where a team is stretched and have the initiative to step-up where help is needed offering ideas and solutions. Working directly with the Finance Manager, you will need to liaise with the directors of the business on a regular basis, as well as external third parties. You will have the ability to communicate at all levels including non-finance staff. Good prioritisation skills, with the ability to meet monthly deadlines and work accurately under pressure.

• Collate information for board reports and other ad hoc divisional reporting.
• Preparing all P&L and balance sheet reconciliations across your divisions.
• Assisting other members of the team as required.

Where you are at

We will consider a range of prior experience, but we believe the likely candidate would be qualified or part way through CIMA or ACCA qualifications. Experience in a media and/or multi project/product business is preferable but not essential. Requires strong Excel skills. Knowledge of Sage 200 preferable but not essential.
