Basic salary up to £80,000 for a candidate that ticks all the boxes in terms of experience, along with excellent benefits including annual bonus, life cover (4 x salary) and family level private medical cover.

This is an exciting role where you will be working at a senior level, assessing and advising business owners on future investments, helping set up new companies, introduce new systems, etc.

You should be a Qualified Accountant - at least 5 years PQE - holding either ACA, ACCA or CIMA, with IFRS 17 experience and having worked with SAGE accounting software.
