Description
Abacus Consulting was founded in January 2001 by its equal equity Partners, who between them share over 30 years general management and specialist financial recruitment experience. Keen to keep this knowledge in the business, the Partners have remained in hands-on, customer facing roles, continuing to offer career advice to candidates, whilst developing strong relationships with businesses throughout the region.

Building on the success of our first office in Northampton, Abacus has expanded to a network of four locally based offices, now including Milton Keynes, Luton and most recently Bedford, which was launched in January 2005. From these bases we have ready access to opportunities across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, with emerging markets in the surrounding counties.

The levels of service delivered by Abacus have ensured a high percentage of first time clients remain loyal thereafter, in many cases setting up partnership arrangements with Abacus as their first port of call, or appointing us as one of their preferred suppliers. Subsequently we offer unparalleled access to commercial organisations in the area, from SME businesses to FTSE 100 listed companies, servicing opportunities on a permanent, interim or temporary basis.

We provide a dedicated financial recruitment service based upon our knowledge of proven best practice within the industry, combined with a refreshing approach to a personalised service. As we have remained true to our areas of expertise and purely recruit in the Accountancy sector, our track record in placing qualified, part qualified and clerical finance staff across our region is second to none.

Job Title Head of Finance
Salary/rate £80000 - £100000/annum Excellent Benefits, including Bonus
Location Frankfurt, Germany, Non UK
Job Number 128204094
Posted 10/02/2012 (13:32)
Agency/Employer Abacus Consulting
DescriptionRegister your CV We're pleased to be working on behalf of a well known multi-national retailer, recognised for its high end, luxury products. They are seeking a high calibre professional to act as the finance lead for their thriving German operation.

The Place:
Frankfurt is best known as a city of skyscrapers, the dynamic hub of Germany’s financial services industry. It won’t have escaped your notice that the German economy is doing rather better than most of Europe, so it’s a good place to be from a business perspective. But there’s more to the city than bankers. As with most German cities, nightlife is lively - cosy pubs and great restaurants abound - and the city is steeped in history. Doesn’t sound too bad, does it?

The Role:
You'll lead finance, and be an integral part of management for the company's German and Austrian operations. You will be a hands-on individual, but also possess a broader strategic vision, and will have responsibility for, among other things, overseeing financial reporting in US GAAP, sales reporting, treasury and cash management, and forecasting and financial planning, plus management development of staff. You’ll be a qualified accountant, fluent in German and English, with experience of reporting under US GAAP, the ability to bring about positive change, and the personality to fit in with company’s friendly and open culture. Ideally (not essentially) you'll have worked in an international business before.
