About You
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll be a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with significant post-qualified experience and a proven track record operating at Financial Controller level.
You'll have strong technical accounting and financial control experience, alongside a track record of managing teams and taking ownership within a busy commercial finance environment.
We're particularly interested in candidates who have worked within media, retail or hospitality, or similarly fast-paced businesses with multiple revenue streams.
You'll be comfortable getting into the detail when required, while also having the experience and confidence to work with senior stakeholders and lead a team.
Previous experience of improving finance processes and controls is important, while exposure to systems change, automation or wider finance transformation would be advantageous.
