About this role
Fancy working a great finance role from your sofa? This one actually lets you.
Well, maybe not your sofa...But if you need a flexible, remote based role that still offers the same challenge and progression as any other, then this is worth a read.
I’m working with a growing, private equity-backed financial services group that has recently completed two acquisitions, has more planned, and is growing in turnover.
The role is fully remote, with the option to work hybrid from offices in the North West or outskirts of London if preferred.
And this isn’t a remote role where you’re left to your own devices and expected to just get on with it.
You'll work closely with the Financial Controller in a small, capable finance team - taking ownership of core accounting while also getting involved in process improvement, automation, AI and acquisition integration.
