About the company....
A powerhouse in the consumer and retail space, close to 1.3 Billion turnover, there is always room for progression here. Highly acquisitive in nature means the company has seen both brilliant organic growth, as well as growth via acquisition, situated on the outskirts of Reading with parking on site means you won't need to fight the Reading centre traffic!
About the job....
When I met the hiring manager and asked him what the core responsibilities of the role were he replied with;
- Internal & External Audit
- Stat Accounting
- Acquisitions Accounting
- Project Accounting
There is obviously more to the role than this but this is where he sees you spending most of your time, the more formal job description is below;
- Looking after and completing the group reporting (UK & EMEA) on a monthly basis
- Prep of the consolidated management accounts and commentary pack

As a recap....
Ideally we are looking for a first time mover, trained at a top 10 practice, qualified looking to move into industry.
Although a large part of the role is getting hands on with Acquisitions Accounting, you don't need to have hands on experience but must have a understanding of "how this works" with a "wider pitcture" mind set, you'll need to be able to pivot mentally at times due to the speed and variety of work.
