Salary range between £45,000 – £52,000 per annum
Due to an internal promotion, we’re looking for a talented Group Financial Accountant to join our central finance team at Christie Group Central Services Ltd.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a recently qualified or post-qualified ACA (ICAEW) or ACCA accountant who’s ready to move from practice into industry, or for someone already in industry looking to broaden their experience in a varied, hands-on group finance role.
You’ll be joining a small, collaborative team that supports both business-as-usual and strategic projects across an AIM-listed group of companies. This role offers exposure to group consolidation, budgeting, tax, reporting cycles, and governance and plenty of opportunity to learn, grow, and make an impact.
What you’ll be doing:
* Supporting group management reporting, budgeting, tax, treasury, and analysis
* Contributing to year-end and half-year reporting cycles
* Collaborating with finance teams within the Group
* Getting involved in financial reporting, audit preparation and system enhancements
* Helping deliver group-wide initiatives and process improvements
What we’re looking for:
* ACA or ACCA qualified, ideally with some post-qualification experience
* Strong understanding of financial reporting, governance, and audit processes
* Confident with Excel (Power BI is a bonus)
* A proactive, detail-oriented team player who’s eager to learn and grow
* Someone who enjoys the balance between the routine of monthly reporting, the annual cycle of financial accounting and reporting/governance and other ad hoc work
* Demonstrates taking initiative and is able to communicate well with a variety of people across the businesses
* Takes ownership and is keen to understand how and why we do things, with a continuous improvement mindset that focuses on streamlining our systems and processes.
What it’s like to work here:
We’re a collaborative, supportive team that values curiosity and continuous learning.
You’ll be surrounded by people who are generous with their time and knowledge, and who genuinely want to see you succeed. We work hard, but we also make time to share ideas, celebrate wins, and support each other through challenges.
You’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your work, contribute to group-wide projects, and develop your skills in a way that aligns with your career goals. Whether it’s learning more about group consolidation, refining your understanding of tax and treasury, or getting involved in systems and process improvements, there’s always something new to explore.
