The hours of work are Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. 
The organisation is based in Inverclyde, and they offer hybrid working with 3 days in the office and 2 days from home. 
The offices are accessible by public transport and there is also on-site parking.
 This is a fantastic opportunity to join a values‑driven organisation undergoing exciting transformation, where you'll play a key role in strengthening controls, improving processes and ensuring the delivery of accurate, audit‑ready financials.

What You'll Need to Succeed 

Ideally, the organisation is looking for a qualified accountant with strong experience in a technical accounting or accounting leadership role. Candidates who are part qualified/qualified-by-experience may also be considered. 
A proactive, omphalomesentericus mindset is essential and you'll bring confidence in managing month-end close cycles, accruals, reconciliations and controls. 
You will have experience working with ERP systems. 
Ideally, you will have proven leadership skills with the ability to coach and develop a team.

 You'll thrive here if you demonstrate:

Adaptability and resilience in evolving environments
Exceptional attention to detail
Collaboration across functions and locations

Competitive salary + comprehensive benefits package
Hybrid working Involvement in high‑profile transformation projects
The chance to streamline processes and influence best practice
