Record to Report; RTR Lead

Location: Leicester (Hybrid – aligned to team activity/month-end)

The business is a fast-growing, private equity-backed group operating across a highly technical, global services sector. Since its inception, the business has scaled rapidly to significant turnover while maintaining an agile, low-bureaucracy culture.

The organisation combines the stability of a large group with the pace and flexibility of a scaling business, offering a dynamic environment where finance plays a key role in driving performance and transformation.

We’re looking for an experienced and hands‑on RTR Lead to take ownership of the Record‑to‑Report cycle across the Group. This is a high‑impact leadership role, combining technical accounting expertise with process optimisation and system improvement.

You’ll play a key role in continuing the transformation of the finance function, building on recent success in reducing the month‑end close cycle from c.10 days to 5 days, with a focus on further optimisation and upstream problem‑solving.

• Lead and optimise the month‑end close process, actively contributing where needed
• Own General Ledger integrity, ensuring accurate and timely balance sheet reconciliations
• Manage group consolidation and intercompany processes across a multi‑entity structure
• Oversee fixed assets, depreciation, and technical accounting areas (e.g. IFRS, revenue recognition)
• Act as the primary contact for external audit, ensuring audit readiness and compliance
• Drive process improvement and automation within Net Suite, reducing manual workarounds
• Identify and resolve root causes of reporting delays, discrepancies, and inefficiencies
• Partner with senior stakeholders and lead, coach and develop the RTR team

• Continued reduction and optimisation of the financial close cycle
• Stronger accuracy, controls, and audit readiness
• Increased automation and reduced manual intervention
• Clear visibility of issues, bottlenecks, and root causes

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
• Strong experience leading RTR / GL in multi‑entity environments
• Proven track record of improving financial close processes
• Hands‑on ERP experience (Net Suite highly desirable)
• Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills
• A pragmatic, detail‑oriented and hands‑on approach
• Experience in shared services or PE‑backed environments
• Ability to balance technical accounting with transformation and change

• Lead and shape a growing RTR function in a scaling business
• Be part of a high‑impact finance transformation programme
• Gain exposure to senior leadership and group‑level finance
• Join a fast‑growing, PE‑backed organisation with ambitious plans

This role offers the opportunity to tackle real complexity, from managing a decentralised, multi‑entity structure to driving consistency, improving upstream processes, and leveraging Net Suite to its full potential.

If you’re a technically strong, hands‑on finance leader who thrives on improving processes and driving change, we’d love to hear from you.
