The role:
Reporting to the Financial Controller, working within a supportive and busy finance team of 10, you will lead on the preparation of the IFRS statutory accounts for the year end and all audit schedules. You will prepare the monthly IFRS adjusted trial balance to be submitted to the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) as well as the IFRS9 amortisation/workings and relevant journals. You will have the opportunity to provide technical accounting advice and this role will be involved in accounting projects such as systems and process improvements/implementations.
