Financial Accountant

Are you a qualified, practice trained individual looking to step into a commercially focused Financial Accountant role within a well‑established organisation? I'm partnered with one of Birmingham's leading employers to add a newly created Financial Accountant into the team to support the business's ambitious growth plans.

You’ll partner with the operational team to solve issues and genuinely contribute to the success of the business — not just report on the numbers. You’ll take real ownership of core accounting activities from day one, alongside the support and mentorship of a high calibre Financial Accounting Manager.

• Lead key month‑end and year‑end close activities, including journal preparation, account reconciliations and variance analysis
• Take ownership of balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring accounts are fully substantiated and risks identified early
• Manage intercompany reconciliations and group reporting submissions
• Support the preparation of statutory financial statements, including liaison with external auditors
• Work collaboratively with operational teams, translating financial knowledge into insight that supports decision-making
• Identify and drive process improvements, including automation opportunities, within the finance function
• Support budgeting and forecasting cycles as required

• Fully ACA qualified with some post‑qualified experience, ideally looking to make your first or second move into industry
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and familiarity with financial reporting standards
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills, with high attention to detail
• Clear communicator who can convey financial information to non‑finance stakeholders with confidence

If you're ACA qualified and looking for a role where you can genuinely hit the ground running, we'd love to hear from you.
