    Financial Accountant

    West Sussex Permanent £50k - £55k

    About the job

    Some roles are built for someone who already knows every corner of the map. This isn't one of them.

    This is a role for a recently qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) who's ready to step into a broad, hands-on finance environment and grow into something bigger than day one expectations.

    You won't be dropped into a narrow silo. Instead, you'll join a UK Head Office finance team for a global corporate business where the work is varied, evolving, and genuinely interesting, with exposure across all areas of UK accounting and involvement in key projects that shape how the business operates.

    The Role

    You'll support and develop across a wide spectrum of finance responsibilities, including:

    • Core UK accounting and reporting activities
    • Month-end and management accounts support
    • Financial controls and process improvement
    • Involvement in cross-functional and group-level projects
    • Exposure to wider business initiatives across a global organisation

    This is very much a "learn by doing, grow by contributing" environment, where curiosity is valued as highly as technical ability.

    What We're Looking For

    • Recently qualified ACA / ACCA / CIMA (or equivalent)
    • Strong grounding from practice or early industry experience (mid-tier or similar backgrounds very welcome)
    • Someone who may not tick every technical box today, but is eager to build on solid fundamentals
    • A proactive mindset with a genuine appetite to learn, ask questions, and get stuck in
    • Comfortable working in a varied role where priorities can shift and stretch

    Why This Role Stands Out

    • A genuinely broad finance role, not a narrow specialist track
    • Exposure to interesting projects beyond BAU accounting
    • Opportunity to grow within a global corporate structure
    • UK Head Office environment based in West Sussex
    • A team that invests in development rather than expecting perfection on day one

    The Bigger Picture

    This is a stepping stone role with real depth. The kind of position where you build confidence fast, gain exposure across multiple areas of finance, and shape your next career move from a position of strength rather than limitation.

    If you're a newly qualified accountant who's more interested in growth than ticking every single box, this could be exactly the kind of environment where you'll thrive.
