Financial Accountant - Logistics

This well-rounded Financial Accountant opportunity possesses both compliance and commercial elements to the role. The recruitment of this position was completed on a contingency basis after a couple of other recruitment agencies were unsuccessful in filling the role. The client reached out to Addington Ball after it had exhausted its resources.

As time was of the essence and the fact that other agencies had submitted candidates, our approach was to be direct with passive job seekers, proactively reaching out to a pool of candidates which matched the sector, qualifications and experience of the clients requirements.

Addington Ball successfully sourced an immediately available part qualified candidate with appropriate sector experience, and they were able to start the following day after they received their offer.
