My client is a £20million turnover food manufacturing business based in Leeds.
As a result of a recent restructuring process, they are seeking a Financial Accountant / Finance Manager to drive a ‘best in class’ reporting function for the business as it moves forward to its next stage of growth and development.

- Support and develop team members to ensure shared knowledge, skills and provide structured career paths for all
- Provide information as required by external parties (Bank, HMRC, ONS, Insurance, Auditors)
- Lead the preparation of accounts/tax disclosures and schedules for statutory audit
In order to deliver, you will be:
- A qualified accountant ACA, ACCA, CIMA
