About you:

We're looking for a qualified or QBE Management Accountant who is confident working independently and can hit the ground running. You'll need to be someone who is comfortable coming into a situation that isn't necessarily neat and tidy, working out what needs attention and getting stuck in without needing lots of direction. Strong reconciliation and month-end experience is important, as is the ability to investigate issues and work through them methodically.

Experience of Sage 200 and/or SAP would be useful, particularly if you've been involved in a finance system transition, although the key requirement is strong core accounting knowledge and the confidence to deal with a varied workload. This is a role where practical experience, problem-solving and the ability to get things back on track will be valued just as much as technical accounting knowledge.
