Job Details

An opportunity has arisen for a Financial Reporting Manager to join the head office team of one of the UK’s best recognised high street retailers. This role is newly created following a sustained period of domestic and international growth and will offer the post holder significant exposure to commercial decision making.

Reporting into a dynamic Head of Group Reporting, this is a really broad role encompassing monthly management reporting, cost accounting, budgeting and forecasting and driving improvements across finance. Involvement in statutory accounting/technical projects will be limited and restricted to particularly busy times of the year. This is a great role for someone coming straight from practice, seeking a move into a more commercial rather than technical role. This role involves direct management of cost accountants and the successful candidate will work closely with the Group Financial Controller and CFO and have contact with finance teams across all of the organisation’s markets, plus key internal and external customers.

Candidates will likely have trained with a Big 4 practice and be ACA qualified. Experience of or an interest in the retail sector will be looked upon favourably but is not a pre-requisite. This is a unique role and a fantastic opportunity to join a growing business at a key juncture. 

Company

Communicate stands for excellence, entrepreneurialism and delivery. 

Our aim is simple: to source and place the best candidates within timeframes which surpass those of other recruitment businesses. With 32% of placements made this year being at FTSE 100 companies, we feel we are living up to our aspirations. 

Specialising in the placement of permanent and interim candidates for many of the world’s best companies, Communicate has earned an excellent reputation for providing fast and effective recruitment on a retained or contingent basis, without ever compromising quality. Indeed, despite the market average for finding new opportunities through word-of-mouth being just 18%*, this year, 67% of the placements made so far have been agency network, referred or headhunted candidates. 

In addition, we are thought leaders, regularly appearing in national, regional and trade publications. 

We are also market leaders. Our pioneering product – the Communicate Contingent Retainer – guarantees we fill vacancies within six weeks or refund all payments, in full, immediately. This means positions are filled with exceptional candidates at four times the speed of the industry standard and clients are not exposed to the 20% risk of paying for a service they do not receive, as is typical with most of our competitors’ retained assignments. 

*Survey data collected from conversations with our leading clients in 2012 on sourcing candidates.
