Financial Accountant
📍 Birmingham | 💻 Hybrid | 💼 Permanent | £50,000
If you’re a Financial Accountant who takes pride in clean accounts, solid controls, and a smooth year end - this one’s for you.
We’re looking for a Financial Accountant to take ownership of day-to-day financial accounting, statutory reporting, and audit preparation across the business and its subsidiaries for one of our clients. You’ll play a key role in ensuring the integrity of financial data, and delivering accurate, timely reporting that supports smart decision-making.
You’ll join a collaborative, forward-thinking finance team that values flexibility, balance, and good humour (especially around year end).
What you’ll be doing
* Lead the day-to-day financial accounting for the business and its subsidiaries.
* Prepare statutory accounts and have experience of leading a year-end audit.
* Own the balance sheet, ensuring reconciliations, controls, and analysis are watertight.
* Maintain high standards of financial control and compliance.
* Partner with colleagues across finance, FP&A, and operations to provide insight and drive improvements.
* Support ongoing system development and process automation.
What we’re looking for
* Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) - or a finalist with strong experience.
* Proven background in financial accounting and statutory reporting.
* Confident managing audits, consolidations, and balance sheet reconciliations.
* Excellent attention to detail and the ability to communicate clearly across all levels.
* Proactive, organised, and calm under pressure with the ability to hit deadlines.
Why join us?
* A genuinely supportive and collaborative team.
* Hybrid working and flexibility that fits around real life.
* A generous holiday allowance (because even accountants deserve recovery time after year end).
* A culture that actually cares about wellbeing and work-life balance - not just in policy, but in practice.
If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real impact, feel trusted, and work with people who value what you do - we’d love to hear from you.
