The Person

This is a great role for someone who is ready to take their Management Accounts journey to that next level. It’s a role dealing with big data so not for the faint hearted, but the rewards are there for the right person!

There’s a clear path to push into a management position when ready, all the while adding vital experience to your CV by working across a large, complex group.

Having prepared Management Accounts for a large group is a must, although the experience is more important than the qualification (QBE will be considered).
