We are looking for a qualified accountant to provide additional support to an established finance team in a hands-on, consultant-style capacity.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience as a Financial Controller, Finance Manager, Financial Accountant, or similar, with strong technical accounting experience including statutory accounts and month-end reporting.

Experience within manufacturing, distribution, or a product-led environment would be highly advantageous, particularly with knowledge of COGS, inventory, product costing and gross margins.

Experience working in post-acquisition environments is also desirable, as is previous experience using SAP.
