Financial management and reporting

• Deliver timely and insightful monthly management accounts including profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow.
  
• Lead the preparation of year end statutory accounts under UK GAAP or IFRS.
  
• Manage external audits and act as the main point of contact for auditors.
  

Controls, compliance and governance

• Maintain strong financial controls and ensure compliance with UK tax and statutory obligations.
  
• Oversee VAT, corporation tax, HMRC submissions, and support accurate research and development claims.

• Partner with operational teams on modelling, rate changes, and tender submissions.
  

What we are looking for

• A full accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA, or CIMA, with at least five years post qualification experience.
  
• Strong experience managing audits, statutory reporting, and complex financial processes.
  
• In depth knowledge of UK accounting standards and regulatory requirements.
  
• Advanced Excel skills and experience with finance systems or ERPs. Finance transformation experience is a plus.
