Financial Accountant in New Mills

12 month fixed term contract

Renishaw UK Sales Limited (‘RUK’) is a key sales and distribution company of the Renishaw Group. RUK supplies to third-party customers in both the UK and some overseas locations, and also sells goods to other Renishaw subsidiaries (primarily across EMEA, plus India and Brazil).

RUK has recently implemented a new ERP system, and we’re looking for a proactive and collaborative qualified accountant to join the finance team on a fixed-term basis, to act as the Finance Manager’s ‘right hand person’ as we embed the new system, further develop our accounting processes, and support business growth.

As this is a period of change, the role has some core responsibilities, as well as some that will be more ad-hoc. Core responsibilities include:

• Accounting, reporting, and management analysis for inventory and gross margin
• Identifying and developing opportunities to automate accounting processes
• Supporting the RUK Finance team in applying the requirements of the Group’s Financial Controls Manual

You’ll also be supporting the Finance Manager in ad-hoc tasks that appear as we better understand issues arising from our system implementation.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys solving finance challenges, identifying and implementing improvements to processes, and working collaboratively across a business. You’ll be a qualified accountant, with a strong technical accounting knowledge and a focus on accuracy and control. You’ll also be proficient with IT and must have prior experience working with Microsoft D365.

When you join Renishaw, we're committing to your future career. That's because we believe in developing our people's skills and promoting them internally. We also offer a benefits package that's highly desirable; including a 9% non-contributory pension, discretionary annual bonus, subsidised onsite restaurants and coffee shops, free parking, car sharing scheme and 24 hour fitness centres (not available at all sites).

We also want to promote a healthy work-life balance as much as possible, so we have introduced a hybrid working policy which allows for a combination of home and office based working depending on the nature of your role. We also offer a variable working programme, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, Life Assurance policy of 12 times annual salary, Cycle to Work scheme, enhanced maternity pay subject to qualifying criteria, Health Cash Plan, the option to join BUPA Renishaw Health Trust and an Employee Assistance Programme for employees and family.

At Renishaw we believe that our success is powered by welcoming a workforce of diverse and talented people. Through encouraging an inclusive culture, where all our employees are free to be themselves, we can achieve our core values: Innovation, Inspiration, Integrity, and Involvement. If you are excited about the role but feel as though you don’t meet all the requirements, we would encourage you still to apply. You might just be the right person for this role or another opportunity at Renishaw. We are committed to providing reasonable adjustments to make interviews and jobs more accessible.
