Group Accountant

Group Accountant | Nottingham £55,000 to £60,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Really interesting Group Accountant opportunity with an international business in Nottingham, offering plenty of autonomy, European exposure and the chance to take proper ownership of a number of entities.

It’s also just a genuinely good business to work for.

They have very low staff turnover, a clear track record of promoting from within and people tend to stay and build their careers there. We know the team well and the last two people we’ve placed into the business have both gone on to be promoted multiple times.

They’re flexible, the hours are good and there’s very much a culture of trusting people to get on with their jobs. The benefits are good from day one too, with holiday, pension and other elements increasing the longer you’re with the business.

Just as importantly, you don’t need to be the finished article.

They’re happy to invest in someone who is ambitious, wants to step up and has most of the foundations in place. You might not have European accounting experience yet, or you may still have a couple of gaps in your experience, but this is the type of business that will help you develop them rather than expecting you to walk in knowing everything.

The role itself is a broad financial accounting position where you’ll look after several businesses across Europe, owning everything from month end and balance sheet reconciliations through to statutory accounts, VAT, cash flow forecasting and the annual audit process.

There’s more to it than simply getting the numbers out though.

They’re looking for someone who can understand what sits behind the numbers, spot issues, make recommendations and help improve and standardise processes across the international finance team.

You’ll also get exposure outside the UK, including fully expensed travel into Europe for audit work and occasional trips to the US.

It’s a good opportunity for someone who wants the scale and exposure of an international business, but still wants enough autonomy to make an impact and develop into something bigger over time.

They operate a hybrid working model, with around 50% of the week working from home. Tuesday and Wednesday are currently the core office days in Nottingham.

European accounting experience would be useful but isn’t essential.

£55,000 to £60,000 basic salary

Annual bonus plus additional incentives

25 days holiday + bank holidays, increasing with service
