We're looking for a Finance Manager to own our financial close, balance sheet control, and statutory reporting, while leading a small finance team. This is a hands‑on role for a qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA or ACA) with a strong audit track record and a sharp eye for the detail that keeps a balance sheet clean. You'll have real ownership over a core part of finance, with scope to drive improvements rather than just maintain the status quo.

• Qualified accountant (CIMA / ACCA / ACA) with strong financial accounting experience
• Track record managing statutory accounts and external audits
• Experience managing or supervising finance team members
• Sharp attention to detail and comfort working under deadline pressure
• A genuine interest in improving how finance works, not just keeping the lights on

• Lead the monthly financial close process and own the integrity of the general ledger
• Manage statutory reporting and act as primary contact for the year‑end audit
• Lead a team of five across management accounting, accounts payable and accounts receivable, including coaching and performance management
• Own group reporting submissions and act as liaison with group finance and treasury
• Drive process improvement and automation across finance workflows
