Milton Keynes
£55,000 - £65,000 + Bonus & Bens
1 to 2 days onsite

This is a rare opportunity to step into a newly created role where you won't be tweaking existing processes - you'll be building them from scratch.

We're working with a fast-growing, change-heavy business that's at a pivotal stage in its journey. With upcoming corporate reform regulations and major systems and business transformation underway, they're now looking for an experienced Internal Controls Accountant to help shape a robust internal controls environment from the ground up.

You'll be working closely with the Head of Internal Controls - someone with an exceptional track record and a glowing career background. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the best in the industry while making your own mark.

Why this role stands out:

• You'll be putting new controls and processes in place - not just maintaining or testing what's already there

• The role is split 50/50 across Financial Controls & IT and Internal Audit, giving you wide exposure

• It's a real opportunity to make your mark and play a key role in defining how controls work across the business

What you'll be doing in the first 18 months:

• Mapping out financial processes

• Designing, documenting, and embedding new controls

• Identifying and assessing risks across finance and IT

• Supporting with control testing and practical recommendations

• Helping the business prepare for upcoming regulations and internal/external audit scrutiny

Who we're looking for:
You might be in a controls-focused finance role or working in internal audit with strong process and risk experience. A practice background (e.g. Big 4, controls advisory or internal audit) would be useful:

Our Client is looking for someone who:

• Has a clear vision of what 'good' looks like when it comes to controls

• Is proactive, curious, and thrives in a changing environment

• Can confidently engage with teams across the business and bring people on the journey

If you're looking to step into a hands-on, high-impact role where you can shape something new, add real value, and learn from an outstanding leader - I'd love to hear from you.
