Chief Accountant - Natalie Wells Recruitment : Job Details

Chief Accountant - Global Investment Group

Most accounting jobs are about keeping score. This one is about accounting for complex transactions and making sure everything stacks up in an investment group that's on a mission.

This Group is an international investor with a diverse portfolio-industrial, real estate, and natural resources. They have top-tier external advisors in place, but they need an in-house finance expert who knows their way around complex financial structures and compliance.

This is a hands-on role. If you're looking for an empire to build or a team to manage, this isn't it. But if you want to work at the heart of a serious investment business, with direct exposure to senior decision-makers and high-profile transactions, keep reading.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Owning the numbers-managing complex transactions, financial reporting, essentially accounting for the Group.
• Coordinating with external advisors to ensure compliance and efficiency.
• Keeping financial controls tight while the business continues to evolve.
• Overseeing a bookkeeper (to be appointed).

What You'll Need:

• A professional accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent).
• Strong technical accounting skills-practice background and/or Group experience preferred.
• Experience with complex transactions-this isn't just about ledgers and reconciliations.
• The ability to work closely with lawyers, tax advisors, and investment specialists.
• A sharp, no-nonsense approach-this is a business that values straight talk and precision.

What's In It For You:

• Salary on offer, £60,000 - £75,000 expected. Depending on experience.
• Play a key role as part of an SME business.
• Based at a beautiful, high-profile office location with ample parking.

This role would suit a high-calibre accountant who prefers being at the centre of things rather than leading a big team. If you want to be a key player in a serious investment group, let's talk.
