An exciting opportunity for an experienced Reporting Accountant

HB People is delighted to be recruiting a Reporting Accountant on behalf of an established, growing business based in Chester.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong, qualified accountant who enjoys variety, responsibility and working in a dynamic commercial environment.

Joining an experienced finance team, you'll work closely with the Financial Controller and senior leadership, taking ownership of key reporting activities and helping to maintain robust financial controls across a group structure.

Whether you're currently working in practice and considering your next move, or already enjoying a career in industry, this role offers the opportunity to broaden your experience and make a meaningful contribution.

The Opportunity

As Reporting Accountant, you'll have a varied and influential role, combining technical financial accounting with commercial exposure.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing statutory accounts and consolidated group financial statements, ensuring compliance with UK GAAP and FRS 102.
  • Coordinating the statutory audit process and liaising with external advisers.
  • Supporting corporation tax compliance and VAT reporting.
  • Managing monthly accounting and reporting for several group entities, including foreign currency transactions.
  • Producing financial and covenant reporting for relevant business activities.
  • Maintaining and strengthening financial controls, reconciliations and reporting processes.
  • Supporting finance transformation, process improvements and wider business initiatives.
  • Working with NetSuite to support accurate and timely financial information.

About You

We're looking for a confident, technically capable accountant who can hit the ground running and build strong relationships across the business.

Ideally, you'll bring:

  • ACA, ACCA or equivalent professional qualification, with at least two years' post-qualification experience.
  • A background in audit, either from practice or through previous industry experience.
  • Strong technical knowledge of statutory reporting, UK GAAP and FRS 102.
  • Experience of group consolidations and financial reporting.
  • A good understanding of corporation tax and VAT.
  • Advanced Excel skills, excellent attention to detail and strong analytical capabilities.
  • The confidence to work independently, manage deadlines and communicate with senior stakeholders.

Previous experience within financial services, lending or asset-based finance would be advantageous, although not essential.

What's on Offer?

  • £65,000 annual salary
  • 14–25 month maternity cover contract
  • One day working from home each week
  • Opportunity to work closely with an experienced senior finance team
  • Exposure to a growing business with a varied group structure
  • A role offering genuine responsibility, technical challenge and professional development

Interested?

If you're a qualified accountant looking for a new challenge, whether that's your next step into industry or an opportunity to expand your existing experience, we'd love to hear from you.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
