Are you confident picking up the phone, starting conversations and turning a cold introduction into a commercial opportunity?

We’re recruiting a Sales Coordinator to join the Residential Sales team of an established, international manufacturer of premium windows and doors. This is a newly created position, offering the opportunity to play an important part in growing the company's residential presence across the Midlands.

Based from the company's new Leicester operation, this isn't a traditional sales administration role. We're looking for someone commercially minded, confident and proactive who wants to build relationships, create opportunities and develop a career in sales.

The opportunity

In the short to medium term, a major part of your role will be engaging directly with architects and other residential construction professionals across the Midlands.

You'll research potential contacts, pick up the phone and start conversations around their current and future residential development pipeline – identifying where the company's high-performance window and door solutions could add value.

You'll be introducing a product range with a genuine point of difference in the market, combining engineered timber with external aluminium cladding to provide the warmth and aesthetics of timber alongside durability, low maintenance and excellent energy performance.

As those initial conversations develop, you'll build relationships, identify projects and create a growing pipeline of opportunities for the Residential Sales team.

What you'll be doing

• Proactively contacting architects and prospective customers across the Midlands
• Researching the market and identifying residential developments and future project opportunities
• Introducing the business, its products and what differentiates its solutions from more conventional window systems
• Building long-term relationships with architects, specifiers and customers
• Qualifying opportunities and developing a strong regional sales pipeline
• Following up enquiries, quotations and bids to help convert opportunities into orders
• Keeping CRM and sales forecasting information accurate and up to date
• Supporting customers from initial enquiry through quotation and ultimately order
• Developing your technical knowledge so you can confidently discuss the product range with customers
• Encouraging customers and prospects to visit the company's showroom
• Providing useful market and competitor intelligence back into the wider business
• Working closely with colleagues across a national sales team, as well as operational and international support teams

As your experience develops, you'll gain exposure to more of the commercial sales process, including quotations, value-engineered solutions, negotiation, project commercials and key account development.

Who are we looking for?

You don't necessarily need to come from the windows, construction or architectural sectors. Product and industry knowledge can be developed.

What matters more is your attitude and commercial confidence.

You'll probably be someone who:

• Is genuinely comfortable making outbound and cold calls
• Can quickly build rapport with people you've never spoken to before
• Communicates professionally and has an excellent telephone manner
• Is curious and confident asking questions to uncover commercial opportunities
• Can sell a business, product and proposition rather than simply read from a script
• Is organised and disciplined about following up opportunities
• Can think laterally about how to approach prospective customers and open doors
• Is comfortable working independently while contributing to a wider national team
• Has strong attention to detail and time-management skills
• Is commercially aware and motivated by achieving results
• Is comfortable using Microsoft Office and learning CRM/sales systems

Previous B2B sales, telesales, business development or construction-sector experience would certainly be useful, but potential, confidence and the desire to build a sales career are equally important.

Why consider it?

This is an opportunity to join a business with a highly differentiated proposition in a market increasingly focused on energy efficiency, sustainability and whole-life building performance.

Rather than conventional PVC-U products, the company's premium timber-aluminium solutions combine Scandinavian engineering with impressive thermal performance, durability and sustainability credentials – giving you something genuinely interesting to talk to architects about.

Just as importantly, this is a new role with room to grow.

For someone who demonstrates an ability to develop relationships, create pipeline and win opportunities, there are genuine prospects to progress within the Residential Sales team and build a longer-term career in commercial sales.

Salary: Up to £30,000 + Benefits
Location: Leicester
Contract: Permanent

If you're confident on the phone, commercially curious and looking for an opportunity where you can develop into a successful B2B sales professional, we'd be keen to hear from you.  Apply, or contact Sharon Boyd at sharon@lusona.co.uk

• Provide insight-led commentary to clients and internal stakeholders
• Drive reporting improvements and process optimisation
• Introduce automation and efficiency enhancements
• Elevate compliance from “done” to “strategic”

In short: you won’t be preparing returns — you’ll be improving how they’re delivered, controlled and leveraged.

• CA / ACCA / ACA / CTA qualified (or equivalent)
• A Corporate Tax Senior Manager with strong advisory credentials, or a technically strong Senior Manager who enjoys oversight, governance and data-driven improvement

• From practice or in-house

Are you a newly qualified accountant or auditor looking to move beyond traditional financial statement audit and build a career within Internal Audit?

Lusona is partnering with a leading financial services organisation to recruit an Internal Auditor into its established Glasgow Internal Audit team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a recently qualified CA, ACCA or equivalent from practice, or an internal auditor already working within financial services, who wants greater exposure to complex financial products, commercial risk and senior stakeholders.

The opportunity

You’ll join a specialist audit team covering Fixed Income, gaining exposure to areas including Foreign Exchange (FX), Credit and Commodities.

Rather than focusing purely on historic financial information, you’ll develop an understanding of how a major investment banking business operates, the risks it takes, and the controls used to manage those risks.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting and delivering risk-based audits across the Fixed Income business
• Assessing the effectiveness of controls across front, middle and back-office activities
• Identifying key risks and using your findings to determine areas requiring greater audit focus
• Analysing large and potentially complex datasets to identify trends, exceptions and areas of risk
• Engaging directly with stakeholders to understand processes, challenge controls and communicate findings
• Contributing to continuous monitoring and follow-up work
• Building your technical understanding of investment banking products, risks and regulation

Who are we looking for?

You do not need to already be a Fixed Income specialist. We are particularly interested in speaking with newly or recently qualified accountants and auditors who have the analytical ability, curiosity and stakeholder skills to make the transition into investment banking.

You are likely to have:

• A professional accounting or audit qualification such as CA, ACA, ACCA or IIA, or be approaching qualification in the next year
• Experience gained within external audit, internal audit, financial services or another relevant assurance environment
• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with large volumes of data
• The ability to ask intelligent questions, challenge constructively and form an independent view
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• An interest in financial markets and developing your understanding of Fixed Income products
• Exposure to data analytics, automation or AI-enabled audit tools would be advantageous – for example Alteryx or similar technologies

Why consider it?

You’ll also become part of a substantial Internal Audit function in Glasgow, giving you the opportunity to learn from experienced auditors, develop specialist knowledge and build a long-term career within a major international financial services environment.

Apply, or contact Karen at karen@lusona.co.uk to arrange a confidential chat

Lusona is recruiting an experienced Internal Auditor to join the Glasgow team of a leading global financial services organisation, taking responsibility for assurance coverage across its EMEA Investment Management business.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Internal Auditor currently working within Financial Services or professional practice who is ready to take greater ownership of audits within a complex, international and highly regulated environment.

Operating at Manager level, you’ll act as Audit-in-Charge, leading assignments and working directly with senior stakeholders across a diverse Investment Management business.

The opportunity

The breadth of exposure is a major attraction.

You’ll undertake Internal Audit coverage across multiple business lines and functions, potentially including:

• Investment and portfolio management activities
• Equities and other investment products
• Sales and distribution
• Marketing
• ESG and sustainability
• Corporate and support functions
• Governance and regulatory controls

As Audit-in-Charge, you’ll take ownership of assignments rather than simply contributing individual pieces of testing.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading risk-based Internal Audits from planning through to reporting
• Identifying key business and regulatory risks and determining areas of audit focus
• Assessing the effectiveness of the control environment
• Undertaking and overseeing audit testing
• Forming an independent view on risks, controls and areas for improvement
• Leading discussions with management around audit findings and remediation
• Building effective relationships with senior stakeholders
• Managing multiple audit deliverables and priorities
• Supporting continuous monitoring and closure verification
• Using AI and data analytics to interrogate information, enhance testing and generate greater audit insight
• Working collaboratively with Internal Audit colleagues in Glasgow and across the wider international business

What are we looking for?

The strong preference is for an experienced Internal Auditor who has developed their career within either:

• Banking, Investment Management or wider regulated Financial Services, or
• Professional practice, with relevant Financial Services Internal Audit experience.

You may already be operating at Internal Audit Manager level, or be an experienced auditor ready to step up and take ownership of your own assignments.

You should bring:

• Strong Internal Audit experience and a thorough understanding of the end-to-end audit lifecycle
• Ideally 4+ years of relevant experience
• Experience working with Financial Services businesses and their regulatory environment
• Strong knowledge of risk assessment, audit planning, testing, reporting and continuous monitoring
• The confidence and judgement to operate as Audit-in-Charge
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, including the ability to challenge senior management constructively
• Strong analytical capability and confidence working across multiple data sources
• An interest in using AI, automation and data analytics to enhance audit delivery
• A proactive, self-starting approach and genuine enthusiasm for joining and contributing to the team

Previous Investment Management experience would be particularly attractive, but candidates with strong Internal Audit experience elsewhere in regulated Financial Services are also encouraged to apply. Professional qualifications such as CA, ACA, ACCA, CIA, CFA or CAIA is advantageous but are not essential.

Why consider it?

This role combines the things that can be difficult to find in a traditional Internal Audit position: ownership, breadth and senior exposure.

You’ll lead your own audits, work directly with senior stakeholders and gain visibility across a diverse EMEA Investment Management business operating across multiple jurisdictions.

You’ll also join an established Internal Audit function in Glasgow, giving you access to experienced colleagues, ongoing development and the opportunity to build your career within a major international financial services environment.

Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this position. Applicants must already have the Right to Work in the UK without requiring employer sponsorship.  For further information contact Stuart Ringland at stuart@lusona.co.uk

Importantly, for someone with ambitions to become an appointment taker, the firm will provide study support towards JIEB with the opportunity, as you progress, to take insolvency appointments yourself.

The role

Working closely with Directors and Partners, you’ll manage a varied portfolio of corporate insolvency and restructuring assignments while playing an important role in developing the team and wider practice.

Your caseload will include:

• Administrations
• CVLs and MVLs
• Compulsory liquidations
• Bankruptcies
• More complex insolvency and restructuring assignments

You’ll have responsibility for progressing cases from appointment through to closure, maintaining high technical and regulatory standards and acting as a key point of contact for clients, lenders, solicitors, creditors and other professional stakeholders.

At this level, however, the opportunity goes beyond managing cases.

You’ll mentor and develop junior colleagues, provide technical guidance, work alongside Directors and Partners on complex assignments and help build relationships with key referrers across the Scottish market.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be an experienced corporate insolvency professional, likely operating at Manager or Senior Manager level, with the technical knowledge and confidence to manage a portfolio independently.

You’ll combine strong insolvency experience with the ability to:

• Manage and develop people
• Build trusted relationships with clients and professional contacts
• Handle complex assignments and competing priorities
• Identify commercial opportunities and contribute to business development

JIEB would be advantageous but is not essential.

For someone who hasn’t yet completed JIEB but has ambitions to become an Insolvency Practitioner, this could be an excellent platform to make that progression.

Why consider it?

The real attraction is where this opportunity could lead.

You’ll be joining an ambitious and growing insolvency practice where there is genuine scope to increase your responsibility and seniority as the Scottish business develops. For the right individual, that includes JIEB study support and a pathway towards becoming an appointment taker, giving you the opportunity to build your own standing within the market rather than remaining purely in a case management role.

Alongside the career opportunity, the firm offers hybrid and flexible working, ongoing training

If you’re an experienced insolvency professional who feels ready for greater responsibility – particularly if your longer-term ambition is to take appointments and help build a successful insolvency practice – this is well worth a confidential conversation. Apply, or contact Stuart Ringland at stuart@lusona.co.uk / 07956263466

We are working with a growing UK accountancy and advisory firm to recruit an Insolvency Assistant Manager for its Glasgow team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Insolvency Administrator looking to step up, or an existing Assistant Manager who wants greater responsibility, exposure to more complex work and genuine long-term progression.

The role

Working closely with Directors and senior management, you’ll take responsibility for your own portfolio of corporate insolvency cases while supporting assignments from the initial pre-appointment stages through to appointment and subsequent investigations and reporting.

Your portfolio will include a varied mix of:

• MVLs and CVLs
• Court liquidations
• Administrations
• Complex sequestrations

You’ll have the autonomy to plan and progress cases, liaise directly with directors, secured creditors, solicitors and other stakeholders, and identify opportunities to maximise asset realisations. You’ll also play an important role within the wider team, reviewing work and supervising, mentoring and developing junior colleagues, while gaining exposure to business development activity.

What we’re looking for

You’ll already have solid corporate insolvency experience gained within an accountancy or insolvency practice, most likely operating at Senior Administrator or Assistant Manager level.

Ideally, you’ll be CPI, CA, ACCA or ACA qualified, with experience managing a portfolio of corporate insolvency cases.

More importantly, you’ll be organised, commercially aware and confident taking ownership of your work and dealing directly with clients and stakeholders.

Why consider it?

The firm is continuing to grow its presence in Scotland and can offer excellent scope to develop alongside that growth.

You’ll receive first-class training, support towards JIEB if desired, genuine career progression and hybrid/flexible working arrangements.

If you’re an experienced insolvency professional considering your next move – or a Senior Administrator who feels ready to make the step into management – apply, or get in touch with Karen (karen@lusona.co.uk) to arrange a confidential discussion.

The Role

The primary focus of the position is the end-to-end management of the fixed asset accounting process and ownership of associated balance sheet controls. Reporting to the Finance manager you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity, accuracy and control of a substantial fixed asset portfolio while helping to strengthen balance sheet governance across the business.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining and ensuring the accuracy of a fixed asset register exceeding £500m gross book value
• Managing the full asset lifecycle from acquisition through to disposal
• Investigating discrepancies, historical data issues and control gaps, ensuring robust financial reporting
• Leading the monthly depreciation process and supporting a structured month-end close cycle
• Preparing and completing balance sheet reconciliations related to fixed assets and associated control accounts
• Acting as the key finance contact for depreciation movements and providing insightful analysis to the management reporting team
• Supporting internal and external audit requirements, including responding to queries and providing supporting documentation
• Assisting with IFRS 16 lease accounting activities while broadening knowledge and capability across the wider finance team
• Working closely with tax, operational and finance colleagues to ensure accurate asset reporting
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, strengthen controls and enhance the quality of financial data following a recent systems migration
• Supporting finance projects and wider balance sheet improvement initiatives as required

This is an excellent opportunity to join a large, asset-intensive organisation where you'll take ownership of a key area of the balance sheet that has historically been managed across several teams.

The Candidate

Applications are welcomed from technically strong accountants who enjoy working with large data sets and complex balance sheet areas.

You will ideally possess:

• ICAS, ACCA or equivalent qualification, although qualified by experience candidates will also be considered
• Previous experience within financial accounting, balance sheet control or fixed asset accounting
• Strong reconciliation and analytical skills
• A sound understanding of FRS102, UK GAAP or IFRS
• Advanced Excel capability and confidence working within ERP environments
• A proactive mindset with a genuine interest in process improvement and controls
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships across finance and operational teams

What's on offer

This opportunity offers the chance to join a highly successful, privately-owned business during an exciting period of growth and transformation. The role provides significant visibility across the finance function, exposure to large-scale assets and systems, and the opportunity to shape an area of accounting responsibility that is becoming increasingly important within the organisation. Benefits include 31 days annual leave with a buy/sell scheme, company bonus, discounted car parking, 5% employer contribution pension.

Are you ready to take more ownership of your corporate tax career?

Lusona is working with a leading UK professional services firm looking to appoint a Corporate Tax Assistant Manager to its growing Private Capital team in Scotland.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond simply delivering compliance. You’ll manage your own portfolio of high-quality clients, build direct relationships with them and identify the advisory opportunities that naturally arise from understanding their businesses.

The client base is a major attraction. You’ll work with a broad mix of owner-managed businesses, private equity-backed companies and larger corporate groups, covering corporation tax compliance alongside specialist claims, tax accounting and advisory projects, including financing and transactions.

The opportunity

You’ll take responsibility for managing your own portfolio, becoming a key point of contact for clients and working closely with Partners and Directors. You’ll also review work prepared by junior colleagues and support their ongoing development.

Importantly, this isn’t a role where you’ll be pigeonholed into compliance. Your portfolio gives you the platform to spot issues and opportunities and become involved in the advisory work that spins out of those relationships.

There is also a strong commercial element to the position. As you develop, you’ll have opportunities to build your network, contribute to business development and become involved in pitches and proposals.

Why consider it?

The combination of client quality, autonomy and progression makes this particularly attractive. You’ll benefit from:

• Salary of up to £50,000, depending on experience, plus a comprehensive benefits package
• Choice of Glasgow or Edinburgh
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Your own portfolio rather than operating purely as a delivery resource
• A varied mix of corporate tax compliance and advisory
• Exposure to an impressive private capital and mid-market client base
• Direct interaction with senior members of the tax team
• Excellent scope for career progression
• An equity share scheme, providing the opportunity to buy into the wider business
• Structured development, coaching and a benefits package including pension, private medical and life assurance

What are we looking for?

You’ll already have experience within UK Corporate Tax, ideally gained within an accountancy or professional services firm, and be ready to take greater ownership of client relationships and your career.

You are likely to be CA, ATT and/or CTA qualified, with experience managing corporate tax compliance work. Experience reviewing junior colleagues’ work, tax accounting/audit of tax or broader advisory work would be advantageous.

You certainly don’t need to arrive as the finished article. What matters is that you have a solid corporate tax grounding, are commercially minded and want to develop into a more rounded adviser.  Study support provided for those looking to either complete exams or commence study towards CTA.

Interested?

Key Responsibilities

For those who enjoy networking and relationship-building, there will be opportunities to become involved in business development initiatives, including attendance at agricultural shows, industry events and rural sector gatherings. Participation is encouraged but not essential.

Working Environment

This position offers a flexible and modern working arrangement, with the choice of being based from either of the firm's Stirling or Ayrshire office.

Benefits include:

• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements.
• Opportunity to work from home.
• Free parking at both office locations.
• Supportive and collaborative team culture.
• Direct access to experienced rural property specialists.

A Different Kind of Property Role

This opportunity is particularly attractive for solicitors looking to move away from highly volume-driven conveyancing environments. The firm operates without:

• Time recording requirements.
• Individual fee targets.

Instead, the emphasis is on delivering high-quality advice, building client relationships and enjoying a sustainable and rewarding career within a specialist area of practice.

If you are looking for a role that combines complex property work, strong client contact, flexibility and genuine work-life balance, we would be delighted to hear from you.
