City of London | Hybrid | £65,000 - £70,000 + Benefits
Are you a newly qualified ACA looking to take your first step out of practice and into industry? We’re partnering with a well-established financial services business to recruit a Newly Qualified Chartered Accountant into its Finance team, with a focus on financial reporting and control.
The Company
Our client is a specialist provider of outsourced investment administration, dealing and platform services to a wide range of investment managers and financial institutions. Operating as part of a larger, highly regarded financial services group, the business combines the stability and resources of a larger organisation with the agility and collaborative culture of a focused, growing team.
The Role
This is an excellent opportunity for a recently qualified accountant to build on their audit or practice experience in a regulated financial services environment. Reporting to the Financial Controller, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the business’s financial reporting, while gaining exposure to senior stakeholders and group-level processes.
