Our client is a leading independent manufacturer of rail equipment, supplying both in the UK and internationally. Due to continued growth and development they are looking for a commercial accountant on an interim basis to start in the New Year.
Working closely with the Finance Director, you will be responsible for creating meaningful financial reports and using insightful financial analysis to help and support the management team in making important financial / strategic decisions for the business – giving you an opportunity to exert some real commercial influence in a growing business.
You will have an opportunity to not only produce these reports, but also to implement improvements to reporting processes – leaving behind you a positive legacy and giving you the ability to amass some tangible commercial achievements.
Ideally, you will:
- Be ACCA/ ACA/ CIMA qualified with post-qualified experience gained in a commercial role
- Have a proven track record for creating insightful financial reports from complex data
- Have experience in financial modelling skills and a detailed understanding of financial forecasting
- Possess excellent system skills with strong knowledge of Excel (i.e. Macro and VBA)
- Be comfortable in a position where you will need to challenge management at all levels, communicating with non-finance managers to help implement commercial and operational change where necessary
In Return, you will:
- Work closely with the Finance Director, driving positive operational and commercial change across the business
- Have the opportunity to gain exposure to other areas of the business and influence non-finance managers
- Play a crucial role in supporting and informing key strategic decisions taken at a board level
This will be a great opportunity to accumulate some notable commercial achievements in a growing business, with genuine exposure to influencing a senior management team as well as providing intelligent decision support at a board level – all in an emergent business that is ready for change.
