What we're looking for

A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with solid post-qualified experience

Strong technical knowledge of IFRS and consolidations

A background in audit would be highly advantageous

Experience working in a group finance environment (energy sector exposure a plus, but not essential)

Able to communicate clearly with a wide range of stakeholders

Immediate availability
