W&A is working with a Glenrothes-based manufacturing group that has more than doubled revenue, expanded across the UK and Australia, and created a newly created Company Accountant role that sits close to decision-making.

You’ll be the Finance Director’s right hand, shaping monthly reporting, budgets and forecasts, and stepping in on key matters when required. Hybrid working is available.

The Opportunity

This is a broad, hands-on role owning financial and management accounting for the UK entities (with exposure to overseas sites) while partnering across operations. With transactional activity handled by a dedicated team, you’ll focus on higher-value work: month-end close, insightful analysis, and forward-looking plans that support continued growth and acquisition activity.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce timely, accurate financial and management accounts each month.

• Lead inputs to the annual budget and deliver rolling monthly forecasts.

• Build strong relationships with UK and overseas sites to enhance reporting quality and consistency.

• Support ad-hoc finance projects and cover key Finance Director responsibilities in their absence.

• Collaborate with the Transactional Financial Controller and Accounts Assistant to streamline processes.

What You’ll Bring

• Fully qualified accountant (e.g., CA/ACCA/CIMA).

• Breadth across financial and management reporting (not necessarily end-to-end ownership).

• Confidence engaging beyond finance, with the curiosity to build relationships across the business.

• Strong Excel capability and good working knowledge of accounting systems.

• Open to first-move-from-practice or a seasoned industry profile seeking a growth environment.

Package & Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package (details available on request).

• Hybrid working pattern (Glenrothes).

• Role created for growth: broad scope with senior exposure.

Reasons to Join

• High-impact remit with direct access to the Finance Director and leadership.

• Varied, commercially relevant workload, beyond the transactional.

• Exposure to multi-site, international operations and future acquisitions.

• Clear platform for progression as the group continues to scale.
