Job description
KennedyPearce are partering with a growing medical education business. We're looking for a qualified Financial Controller or Financial Accountant to take ownership of the day-to-day finance function and play a key role in the company's next phase of growth.
This would suit someone who is early in their Financial Controller career, but already has strong hands-on accounting experience and is ready to take broader ownership of the finance function.
You'll be responsible for:
- Owning the month-end close and monthly management accounts
- Balance sheet reconciliations and financial control
- Revenue recognition, including project and event-based revenue
- Variance analysis and reporting to senior stakeholders
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting and cash flow management
- Improving visibility of project profitability and margins
- Supporting the implementation of a new accounting system
- Developing finance processes, controls, reconciliations and reporting
- Supporting audit, statutory accounts and tax requirements
- Working closely with operational teams and the wider group
- Supporting the development of the finance function as the business grows
We're looking for someone who is:
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
- Strong technically with solid management accounting experience
- Experienced in month-end close and balance sheet control
- Comfortable working hands-on across a broad finance function
- Confident with Excel and financial reporting
- Experienced in process improvement or accounting-system implementation
- Commercially minded, organised and able to work independently
- A strong communicator who can work effectively with non-finance stakeholders
- Experience with Salesforce, accounting system implementations, automation or data-quality projects would be advantageous.
Why join this company:
- This is a great opportunity to join a growing business at an important stage of its development, with the chance to shape finance processes, systems and controls rather than simply inherit an established function.
- Predominantly remote
