Assistant Financial Controller

Morgan McKinley is currently partnering exclusively with an acquisitive Bristol based business to recruit an Assistant Financial Controller.

The Role

My client aims to double in size to £150m in the next two years, and this is a newly created role reporting into the Financial Controller, and offering genuine scope for career progression.

In terms of responsibilities, this position will offer you the opportunity to take responsibility for the development and maintenance of the group's financial control framework.

You will be responsible for statutory accounting for a number of entities, evolution of insightful reporting during a period of high growth, and supporting the group's annual audit cycle.

On a monthly basis you will prepare management accounts and support on month end processes, and there will also be the opportunity to support with accounting for new acquisitions, and potentially get involved in financial due diligence for future acquisitions.

The business is growing rapidly, and so you will need to work collaboratively to help build out strong control frameworks, which will involve various projects and opportunities to streamline processes and improve efficiencies.

The Candidate

The successful candidate for this role will ideally be a recently Qualified Accountant with strong knowledge of accounting principles, financial regulations and financial analysis.

You will need to be comfortable working in a high energy environment, and will be self starting and prepared to be 'hands on' when required.

In addition to a competitive salary, and a friendly and supportive culture, this role offers genuine career development potential into a Financial Controller role, further professional development and a fantastic package including 30 days holidays (plus bank holidays)!

My client offers a hybrid policy with a requirement to be in the office two or three times a week.
