• Qualified accountant stepping into a high-impact, standalone finance role
• Broad remit across reporting, controls, treasury and commercial finance
• Office-based | Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh
• Salary up to £50,000 DOE
• Early finish Fridays — great work/life balance
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Our client is a well-established, commercially successful business with operations that stretch well beyond Northern Ireland. With a strong international footprint and a track record of sustained growth, they operate in a fast-moving, high-volume sector where financial rigour and commercial awareness go hand in hand. This is a business that takes finance seriously — and the people in it are given the tools, trust and scope to make a real difference.
THE ROLE
This is a broad and varied senior finance position reporting to an experienced financial leader at the top of the organisation. You will take full ownership of financial reporting, controls and compliance for a significant part of the business, while also supporting strategic decision-making through timely, accurate management information. Day to day you will work across everything from ledger oversight and reconciliations to budgeting, forecasting and KPI reporting. If you are a qualified accountant who wants genuine ownership of a finance function — rather than a narrow, task-focused role — this is worth a conversation.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Own the production of monthly management accounts and deliver clear, insightful financial commentary to senior leadership
• Drive the annual budgeting and forecasting process, challenging assumptions and ensuring commercial alignment
• Manage treasury activity including cashflow forecasting, foreign currency exposure and bank reconciliations across multiple currencies
• Ensure full compliance with VAT obligations and support all year-end statutory reporting requirements
• Oversee the integrity of the ledgers, credit control function and stock accounting
• Develop and embed financial controls and process improvements across the function
• Produce monthly KPI packs and performance reports tailored to the needs of senior stakeholders
• Coach and supervise junior finance staff, supporting their development and day-to-day output
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
Essential
• Fully qualified accountant — ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent — with at least 2 years' post-qualification experience
• Solid, hands-on experience across management accounts, month-end close and financial reporting
• Confidence working in a multi-currency environment with exposure to foreign exchange
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with accounting ERP systems
• A natural problem-solver — commercially minded, organised and able to work under pressure
• Right to work in the United Kingdom
Nice to Have
• Experience leading or mentoring a small finance team
• Exposure to tax compliance or working knowledge of indirect taxes
WHY APPLY?
• Salary up to £50,000 depending on experience
• Free on-site parking
• Genuine autonomy and ownership over a significant finance remit
• Exposure to international commercial activity and cross-border financial operations
• A stable, growing employer with strong values and a long-term outlook
