Group Accountant – Consumer Brand
South Bath | £70,000 – £75,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Looking for your next big step? This role is tailor-made for someone ambitious, fun, and ready to take on more responsibility.
This is without doubt one of the most exciting, consumer-focused businesses in the South West – genuinely interesting, fun, and creative.
We're looking for a qualified accountant to join a high-growth, people-first business near Bath. You'll take ownership of group accounting, consolidation, and reporting across multiple entities, while also getting stuck into process improvements, forecasting, and strategic projects.
This would likely suit a financial accountant or group accountant looking to step up, but we're also open to people ready for a sideways move who want more variety, exposure, and scope.
It all comes down to your energy, personality, and ability to add value.
This is a hands-on, broad role – perfect for someone on the path to Finance Director.
What you'll be doing
* Prepare accurate and timely group management accounts with insight and commentary.
* Lead consolidations across multiple entities.
* Own balance sheet reporting, reconciliations, and variance analysis.
* Manage group cash flow, working capital, and lender reporting requirements.
* Oversee tax compliance (VAT, Corporation) with external advisors.
* Deliver statutory accounts for the group.
* Support and mentor a small team, driving a culture of continuous improvement.
* Partner with the Finance Director on forecasting, budgets, and strategic projects.
* Drive systems and process improvements across the group.
Who we're after
* Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with at least 1 year PQE.
* Fun, people-centric, and collaborative.
* Strong technical accounting knowledge, with solid Excel skills.
* Bright and ambitious – either looking for a step up with scope to grow, or a sideways move with the passion to drive improvements.
* Confident communicator who enjoys working across the business.
* Able to be in the office around 3 days per week.
What's on offer
* £70,000 – £75,000 salary + bonus + benefits.
* A truly fun, creative, and consumer-centric environment.
* A chance to be part of a diverse, growing, and innovative business.
* Clear scope to make an impact, own your remit, and develop further.
