In partnership with a Metropolitan District Council in the home counties, we are currently recruiting for an experienced Chief Accountant to lead the closing process and work closely with the financial leadership team during a period of transition.
Your role will be to provide technical leadership and expertise, marshalling the team through the full year end process as well as ensuring the accounts are delivered accurately and in a timely manner, as well as working closely with the Audit Committee to provide assurance and control.
The role is initially designated for six months, but there is a very real prospect of the role rolling for much longer as the machinations of LGR are played out and the practical impact understood. Once the accounts are over the line, you’ll work with the current team to help up-skill, recruit and improve processes.
Technical Local Government experience is a must; and the right person will have confidence in their ability to deliver, advise and improve.
If this sounds like the right challenge for you, we’d love to discuss it further. Please send your CV to Liam along with a brief note about why this opportunity suits and appeals to you.
