No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re looking for a fully qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent) with significant post-qualified experience and a strong background in forensic accounting, technical accounting and financial control.
You’ll need strong IFRS and UK GAAP knowledge, consolidation experience (Hyperion/HFM), excellent balance sheet and financial control expertise, and the ability to investigate complex historical accounting issues and drive them through to resolution.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll also need strong executive presence and the confidence to engage credibly with Board-level stakeholders, auditors and other senior parties, alongside the ability to work autonomously and deliver against demanding deadlines.
This would particularly suit someone with a background in Forensic Accounting, Group Finance, Financial Control or Technical Accounting who enjoys project-based work and can come into a complex environment, identify historical issues and get them resolved.
