Job Brief
Our client is looking for a Senior Financial Accountant who has genuinely worked inside acquisition activity before, not just studied it. This is a hands on, technical role acting as the go to person for the finance leadership team, covering everything from pre acquisition considerations through to post completion accounting and integration. It suits someone comfortable in a fast changing, occasionally unstructured environment where priorities can shift week to week.
About Our Client
Our client is a large, multi entity business with an active acquisition strategy, expecting to move back into acquisition mode over the coming months. The finance function is lean and technically stretched, and this role exists to give the finance leadership team a technically strong person they can rely on for acquisition accounting, technical accounting questions and broader transformation work as the business continues to grow.
Responsibilities
Requirements
A technically rich role with genuine influence, working directly with finance leadership on live acquisition activity. Strong salary band reflecting the technical bar required for the role. Genuine scope to convert to a permanent position. On site parking available.
