About the Company
Our client is a well-established, multi-divisional organisation with a strong reputation in its sector and a genuinely growing finance function. They have a track record of developing accountants from their first industry move right through to senior finance positions, and offer a level of support and structure that’s hard to find in a first industry role.
The Role
This is a rare opportunity for a newly qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) to step into a broad, hands-on finance role with real responsibility from day one. Rather than being confined to a narrow reporting function, you’ll manage the accounting function for one of the organisation’s divisions and supervise a small finance team, giving you exposure and ownership well beyond what most first industry roles offer.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare monthly management accounts
- Produce trial balances and complete balance sheet reconciliations
- Support the year-end audit process, budgeting and forecasting
- Oversee payroll, ledgers and transactional processes
- Supervise and support a small finance team
- Maintain and strengthen financial controls across the division
- Liaise with senior finance stakeholders on reporting and process improvements
What You’ll Need
Essential:
- Newly or part qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA
- Strong trial balance and reconciliation experience
- Excellent Excel and financial systems skills
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail
Desirable:
- Prior exposure to supervising or supporting junior team members
- Experience working within a multi-divisional or group finance structure
Why Apply
- Genuine breadth from day one: this role covers financial controls, month-end, audit, payroll and team supervision, rather than a single narrow function, giving you a much stronger grounding than most first industry roles
- Real people management experience early in your career, supervising a small team rather than waiting years for that opportunity elsewhere
- A clear, structured route for career development within a multi-divisional organisation, with genuine scope to progress as the finance function grows
- A supportive, collaborative team environment where you’ll be backed rather than left to sink or swim in a new industry role
