Our client is a highly profitable global services group that has continually delivered double digit growth. Due to the continued growth of the business, there is a need to recruit a new Group Accountant to the high profile central finance team. The role will appeal to high-potential individuals who want regular C-suite exposure along with the opportunity to develop their careers rapidly. The position should appeal for the following reasons: Growth - The business has grown and continues to grow at a rapid rate both organically and through M&A. It is continually featured in The Times 'Top 200 Fastest Growing Companies' and has tripled its operational capacity in less than 2 years. PE backed dynamic culture - A 'can do' mentality and ability respond quickly to opportunities. The rewards are entirely linked to delivering results and the business has completed major acquisitions faster than its competition due to the PE shareholder model. Opportunities - The group is at a very exciting stage in its development, moving away from a traditional Group Finance model of churning out reports and moving towards a digitised and strategic function. The team is expected to drive value, e.g. advising on how to deliver working capital efficiencies. Digitalisation - Finance is developing an organisation-wide KPI dashboard to be used by operations, sales and commercial and HR. Finance will own this dashboard, removing the need for manual spreadsheets and moving towards an automated approach that allows more meaningful and timely information to aid decision making.
