What You'll Be Responsible For
This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified accountant to join a high-performing finance function and take ownership of several complex accounting areas across the Group.

Working as part of the Group Finance team, you will take ownership of key accounting and reporting activities, supporting the monthly consolidation and reporting cycle, statutory accounts preparation, annual audit requirements and month-end processes. You'll ensure the accuracy of financial information across your areas of responsibility, whilst helping to maintain high standards of financial control and governance across the Group.
You'll also lead key areas of inventory and capex accounting, including standard costing, stock reporting and IFRS 16-related activities, whilst identifying opportunities to improve processes, reporting and systems.

- Be confident building relationships with stakeholders across different functions and communicating financial information clearly
- Demonstrate a proactive approach to improving processes, controls and reporting within a finance environment
- Ideally present knowledge of SAP, inventory accounting, standard costing or capital expenditure accounting
- A passion for healthy, sustainable products which are better for our consumers and the planet – you don’t have to be a vegetarian to work for Quorn!
