Assistant Group Financial Controller Yorkshire Predominantly Home Based £75,000 - £95,000 + Benefits If you enjoy the technical side of finance but don't want to spend your career hidden away producing reports, this could be worth a look. This business has grown significantly over the last few years and now has a portfolio of more than 20 UK entities. They're looking for an Assistant Group Financial Controller to take ownership of the group consolidation process while becoming a trusted member of the wider finance leadership team. It's a technically demanding role, but it isn't purely about month-end and statutory reporting. You'll work closely with senior leaders across the business, helping them understand the numbers, challenge performance and make better commercial decisions. The role covers the UK business only and offers plenty of flexibility, with most people spending just two or three days a fortnight in one of the offices. What you'll be doing You'll be responsible for producing accurate and timely group reporting across a complex UK group structure. Your responsibilities will include: Leading the monthly group consolidation across more than 20 legal entities Preparing consolidated management accounts and supporting statutory reporting Supporting the year-end audit and acting as a key contact for external auditors Maintaining strong financial controls and ensuring the integrity of group reporting Reviewing balance sheets and ensuring robust reconciliations across the group Working with operational and senior leadership teams to provide insight into business performance Supporting budgeting, forecasting and longer-term planning Identifying trends, risks and opportunities within the numbers and helping turn those into meaningful actions Driving improvements to reporting processes and controls Supporting acquisitions and helping integrate new businesses into the group structure About you You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with experience working in a group finance environment. More importantly, you'll enjoy solving problems, getting into the detail and helping people understand what the numbers are really saying. We're likely to be speaking to people who have experience of: Group consolidations across a multi-entity business, ideally 20 or more entities Group reporting and statutory accounts Strong technical accounting and financial controls Building relationships with stakeholders outside of finance Looking for ways to improve reporting and simplify processes You could already be an Assistant Group Financial Controller, or perhaps you're a Financial Controller or Group Reporting Manager looking for a broader role with more visibility across the business. What's in it for you? £75,000 - £95,000 depending on experience Predominantly home-based with only 2-3 days in the office each fortnight A genuinely varied role that combines technical accounting with commercial exposure Direct access to senior leadership and the opportunity to influence decision making Exposure to acquisitions, integration projects and a growing group structure The chance to join a collaborative finance team where you'll have the autonomy to make a real impact This isn't the sort of role where you'll spend every day buried in spreadsheets. Yes, you'll need strong technical skills and you'll be responsible for consolidating a complex group structure, but you'll also be expected to get out from behind the numbers, build relationships with senior stakeholders and help shape the commercial decisions that drive the business forward. If that sounds like the next step you're looking for, we'd love to have a conversation.

Audit Assistant Manager / Audit Manager Eastbourne £45,000 - £60,000 A genuinely good independent firm with its own dedicated audit department. That combination is harder to find than you'd think. A well-established and highly regarded independent accountancy practice in Eastbourne is looking for an Audit Assistant Manager or Audit Manager, with the level set against the right person, to join a settled, partner-led team. The firm is properly independent. Not part of a network, not part of a wider group, and not reporting into a head office somewhere else. It is, however, big enough to run a dedicated audit function in-house, which means real audits, real planning work, and proper client exposure rather than slotting into someone else's process. You'll also get a genuine mix of audit and accounts work. If you enjoy variety and don't want to live inside a busy-season cycle for ten months of the year, this kind of split is hard to beat. The role: Running audits from planning through to completion Managing and reviewing the work of junior staff A mix of audit and accounts assignments across a varied client base Direct contact with partners and clients Helping shape how the audit team grows over the next few years Who this will suit: ACA or ACCA qualified 2 to 4+ years post-qualified, depending on level Practice-trained, comfortable across both audit and accounts Looking for proper progression in a stable, well-run firm Based in or able to commute to Eastbourne What's on offer: £45,000 to £60,000, depending on level and experience Strong, clearly mapped progression A genuine balance of audit and accounts work Real client exposure across a varied portfolio A long-established firm with a supportive, low-turnover team If you're an experienced auditor looking for a step up, or a manager who's quietly outgrown your current setup, this is well worth a conversation.
