I’m recruiting on behalf of a growing transport and logistics business in Oldbury who are looking to appoint a hands-on Accounts Manager on a temp-to-permanent basis.

•      Cashflow monitoring and basic forecasting
•      Supporting budgeting and financial reporting
•      Maintaining accurate financial records and reconciliations
•      Helping to improve finance processes and controls over time
•      Working closely with the business owner / senior team on financial information

About You

•      Experience in a hands-on finance role (e.g. Assistant Finance Manager, Management Accountant, Senior Accounts Assistant)
•      Comfortable getting involved in transactional finance
•      Good Excel skills and experience using finance systems
•      Happy working in a small / growing business environment
•      Studying AAT / ACCA / CIMA or qualified by experience
