- Managing the annual audit process and acting as the key point of contact for auditors
- Producing ad‑hoc financial reports and insight for senior leadership
About You
- ACA or ACCA qualified accountant
- Strong technical accounting competence, accuracy and attention to detail
- Experience gained in audit, group reporting, financial control or similar
- Ability to question, challenge and provide clarity around financial data
- Comfortable working independently and partnering with senior stakeholders
- Knowledge of hospitality, real estate or property industries is beneficial but not essential
Why Apply?
- Highly visible role working directly with the Managing Director
- Opportunity to influence processes, governance and financial discipline
- Autonomy to shape how the group’s accounting function operates
- Exposure to a diverse range of businesses and projects
