Driving process improvements and strengthening controls
What we're looking for
A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with solid post-qualified experience
Strong technical knowledge of IFRS and consolidations
A background in audit would be highly advantageous
Experience working in a group finance environment (energy sector exposure a plus, but not essential)
Proactive, hands-on approach - comfortable tackling both technical accounting and BAU finance tasks
Strong Excel skills (SAP knowledge is an advantage)
Able to communicate clearly with a wide range of stakeholders
Immediate availability
