Make Your Mark in a High-Growth Business

We're looking for a Temporary Finance Manager who wants more than just a reporting role. This is an opportunity to take real ownership, influence how finance operates and help shape the next stage of growth in a fast-scaling business.

Working across multiple entities, you'll own key financial processes end-to-end while helping our client improve systems, automate workflows and build a finance function that's fit for scale. If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes and turning financial data into business insight, we'd love to hear from you!

• Own the preparation of monthly management accounts, including P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reporting.
• Lead month-end close activities, ensuring reconciliations, accruals, prepayments and controls are completed accurately and on time.
• Monitor departmental spending and budgets, identifying variances and providing actionable insights.
• Partner with external accountants, auditors and suppliers to ensure compliance and smooth reporting cycles.
• Help modernise and streamline finance operations through improved systems, processes and automation.
• Deliver ad-hoc financial analysis and reporting to support strategic and commercial decision-making.
• Manage finance-related onboarding and offboarding activities, including payroll coordination, systems access and documentation.
• Drive improvements in financial controls and data integrity, ensuring leaders can make decisions with confidence.

• ACCA, CIMA or ACA qualified (or actively studying towards qualification).
• Around 3-5+ years' experience in finance, accounting or management accounting roles.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge, including management accounts preparation, reconciliations and balance sheet reviews.
• Excellent attention to detail with the ability to manage high volumes of transactional activity accurately.
• Comfortable working across multiple entities and navigating complex financial processes.
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills, with experience using Xero in a multi-entity environment.
• A proactive, hands-on approach and the confidence to roll up your sleeves when needed.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve and improvements are encouraged.
• A genuine ownership mindset-you don't just report the numbers; you make sure they're right and understand what they mean.
• Experience in a regulated environment (such as SRA/solicitor accounts rules) would be an advantage but isn't essential.

• Make a visible impact in a growing business.
• Work closely with senior leadership and contribute to key business decisions.
• Help drive process improvements and automation projects.
• Join a collaborative, ambitious team that values initiative and fresh ideas.
