Group Accountant - Reading (3 days in office) - Salary to £60,000
Iworked with this company earlier this year and have to say everyone that I have spoke nto has been lovely! This role has come about as the chap that was in post has had an internal promotion and needs to replace himself as he looks to grow the team further.
Ideally suited to a first time mover this is an exciting and blended role, brilliant for your first move out of practice, you will be reporting into Group Financial Reporting Manage,r he himself was Audit trained at PWC before making to the move to this company.
About the company....

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!

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.
