Could this be you?
To be successful in this role, you’ll need to be a fully qualified accountant, who has experience of reviewing audit controls and implementing change in complex environments. You’ll need some proven technical accounting experience, particularly with FRS102 and SORP. This is a project role with identified outcomes, so you’ll be comfortable working independently and at pace, ensuring deadlines are met within timelines. Excellent communication skills, particularly the ability to explain technical concepts to non-finance colleagues, is essential.
