Are you a qualified accountant looking to take the next step in your career within a FTSE 100 organisation? As our Group Financial Reporting Analyst, you'll play a key role in delivering high-quality, trusted financial reporting that supports decision-making across Sage and provides confidence to external stakeholders.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop your technical accounting expertise, gain exposure to senior leaders across the business, and contribute to Sage's financial reporting and control environment.

This collaborative and supportive team provides excellent opportunities for learning, development and exposure to complex financial reporting matters within a global, multi-currency business.
