Group Financial Accountant | FTSE Listed Bank | City | 50% Office Based | £65,000 | 18 month FTC
The role sits at group level, so you're working with the final numbers that actually matter to the business, not buried in a subsidiary that nobody talks about. You'll be doing the month-end journals, group consolidation, P&L analysis, balance sheet recs, and getting involved in the annual and half-year financial statements. There's also regulatory reporting (FINREP), cash flow management, share-based awards accounting, and the odd project that comes up because that's just how group finance works.
You will work in a high-calibre team, perfect for building the foundational skills you need to excel in your career, and senior management will actually see your work. It's the kind of role where you can tell your work matters without having to squint.
