Sheridan Maine is working with a well-established and successful organisation seeking an Accountant to join its busy finance team.

• Reviewing financial information when new client portfolios are introduced.
• Liaising with colleagues and clients to resolve accounting queries.
• Contributing to improvements in financial processes and supporting wider projects.

 
What experience will you need?

Ideally, you'll bring:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification, or be working towards one.
• Experience preparing accounts and producing financial reports.
• Good Excel skills and a strong understanding of accounting principles.
• The ability to work accurately while meeting deadlines.
