In applying for this position, it is essential that you are a part or fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA). The role has broad responsibilities enabling the financial accountant to get out into the business, building relationships across the finance and non-finance teams. As a key player in the finance team, working with the Financial Controller to deliver statutory accounts and leading on the annual audit and will manage a high performing Assistant Accountant. You will need excellent stakeholder management skills, and the ability to persuade and influence senior stakeholders with confidence. Experience of working to UK government or wider public sector accounting and regulatory requirements would be an advantage but not essential.
