What you'll be doing
Leading on statutory accounts and audit
Owning VAT, tax and compliance
Managing and supporting a transactional finance team

Fully qualified accountant (ACCA / ACA / CIMA) or QBE with strong relevant experience
Strong audit and statutory experience
Someone ready for a step up, not just a sideways move
