Client Background
A well-known British brand had a recent restructuring within its Controls and Compliance team. This led to a requirement for two pivotal new roles:
Financial Accountant
Regulatory Reporting Manager.
These roles were newly created, and no prior recruitment for them had been conducted. This allowed for flexibility in candidate profiles. Although it was vital that the candidates needed to align with the company’s values and culture was a top priority.
The Reporting Manager role required a qualified accountant with experience in data integration, financial control, and non-financial reporting.
The Financial Accountant role was an excellent step-up opportunity for a part-qualified accountant looking for career growth. Both roles offered robust training and development pathways, enabling candidates to gain valuable experience and advance within the organisation.
