Are you a Finance Assistant, Assistant Management Accountant or Accounts Assistant with practical experience of month-end, management accounts and P&L analysis?
ISQ Recruitment is recruiting for a manufacturing business in the Tamworth area. This role offers broader financial exposure than a transactional accounts position, supporting monthly reporting, analysing business performance and helping the finance team understand differences between actual results, budgets and forecasts.
Applicants will need practical involvement in month-end and management accounts. Experience limited mainly to invoice processing, purchase ledger, sales ledger or general finance administration will not provide the accounting exposure required for this position.
About The Role
Working as part of an established finance team and reporting to the Finance Director, you will support the monthly management accounts process and help produce accurate financial information for the business.
