Rutherford Cross is pleased to be partnered with a leading Scottish business to appoint an Accounting Manager. This opportunity represents a great opportunity for a qualified accountant with well developed leadership, technical and commercial skills to join a high-calibre finance team in a broad and people-focused role. This position is based in Glasgow City Centre and offers hybrid working, great employee benefits and a salary of £50,000 - £60,000.

Given the scale of the business, there is opportunity further down the line to move into a bigger role within the business, provided the successful individual makes the required impact once in post. A huge amount of this role is focused on leadership of the team and the relationships with external stakeholders.
