BrewDog searches for financial director

Controversial Scottish micro-brewer BrewDog is looking to appoint a financial director.

BrewDog, whose beers include Punk IPA, 77 lager and Trashy Blonde, is advertising for an "accountant with bite".

The appointment follows BrewDog's unveiling of plans to raise £2.3m via an internet-based share sale and use the money to build a carbon neutral brewery in Aberdeen.

"The role would be suited to anambitious, young, accountant who is looking for an opportunity to move to industry and work within in a fast growing and ambitious company pushing the boundaries in brewing," said founder James Watt.

"Duties include designing and implementing improvements to financial systems, providing information and forecasting to management, preparing corporation tax, beer duty and VAT returns as well as liaising with all professional contacts especially auditors and bankers."

He added: "Duties also include helping Martin Dickie (fellow founder) with his maths homework and when Bracken (the brewery dog) gets stuck with some of the trickier long divisions."

It is also looking for a new brewer to join its expanding team.
