The role involves putting together the management accounts pack and reporting to senior management, working very closely with the directors of the business and providing commentary. This role would suit an Accountant who is able to give that bit extra, has excellent attention to detail, is passionate about going above and beyond, and has commercial acumen, but is also not afraid to get stuck into the day to day and oversee the work of the Accounts Assistants and support with holiday cover etc when required.

You will be a good rapport builder with a natural ability to get on with others and build strong and trusting relationships internally and externally.
