Recently Qualified Accountant

Your new company
Our client is an international business that is currently growing their accounting function due to the growing responsibilities of the team. Based in Belfast, this is a dynamic organisation that operates in a fast-paced industrial environment. As part of a forward-thinking Finance Department, the company promotes continuous improvement and values collaborative support between its finance and operations teams.

Your new role
In this hybrid role, reporting to the Financial Controller, you'll take ownership of the General Ledger and play a key role in preparing the Monthly Management Accounts and Annual Statutory Accounts. Your day-to-day responsibilities will span sales and cost reporting, margin analysis, fixed asset maintenance, bank reconciliations, VAT and Intrastat submissions, intercompany charges, payroll reviews, SOX compliance, and more. You'll also liaise with the operations team to support stock management, standard cost revisions, and KPI reporting. Additionally, you'll handle statutory reporting, tax packs, quarterly submissions, audit preparations, and contribute to ad hoc projects and ongoing finance initiatives. This is a great learning ground for any accountant who has gained their qualifications through practice, or someone wanting to make a defining difference who has trained through industry.

What you'll need to succeed
You'll be a professionally qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with excellent Excel proficiency and strong analytical and communication skills. Your ability to problem-solve and contribute meaningfully to both financial and operational discussions will be key. Experience in Oracle, OneStream, and working within an industrial manufacturing setting would be beneficial.

What you'll get in return
You'll join an inclusive employer that champions equality and collaboration. Expect a hybrid working model, the opportunity to work closely with cross-functional teams, and the chance to make a tangible impact through meaningful financial insight and reporting.
