Rutherford Cross retained by City Facilities to appoint Group Financial Accountant

Inspired to make a positive change to the facilities management industry, Willie and Susan Haughey set up the business in 1985. Their new enterprise was founded on collaboration and transparency. A ground-breaking approach took City Facilities Management from its humble beginnings to building long-term partnerships with leading retailers all over the world, with significant operations in North America and Australia in particular, and group turnover in excess of £1bn.

Under this innovative model, each partner receives a unique strategy, shaped by the needs of their business and implemented by a bespoke, self-delivered model that provides an unparalleled commitment to safety, quality and value.

As one of the world’s largest privately owned FM companies, City has accumulated a wealth of experience serving a variety of sectors — healthcare, leisure and hospitality, retail, distribution and logistics, petrol forecourts, commercial property and construction. At the same time, it has also relentlessly focused on developing and shaping the future of FM, harnessing the power of innovation, technology and data to inform every step of its work. City’s client base includes a range of supermarkets, high street retailers and other well-known brands.

An exciting opportunity has emerged following a retirement for an ambitious individual to join the company as a Group Financial Accountant. This role encompasses statutory reporting, tax compliance, and management accounting, along with the responsibility for testing key financial controls in accordance with the annual assurance plan.

The position offers regular interaction with the CFO and senior members of the finance team, making it highly visible both within the organization and externally. It is ideal for a qualified Chartered Accountant seeking their first move into industry or for someone already working in a similar role.

Joining the Group Finance team presents an excellent chance for a motivated, qualified accountant to become part of one of Scotland’s most successful businesses.
