This Finance Manager position sits within a large, complex UK group, focusing on financial accounting, controls and providing technical guidance across multiple entities.

Reporting to the Head of Technical Accounting, you will be part of a developing controllership function undergoing reshaping. This presents an excellent opportunity to influence processes rather than simply inherit established practises.

The role demands strong technical expertise, working across IFRS and UK GAAP, with some exposure to US GAAP during an ongoing transition.

You will regularly engage with senior stakeholders, including senior leadership, so the ability to communicate complex details clearly and explain the rationale behind decisions is essential.

• Progression that actually happens
  Clear pathways into senior roles with genuine internal movement upwards, not lateral shifts.
• Breadth and exposure
  Work across a wide group structure with multiple entities, gaining substantial experience in group reporting, statutory accounts and controls.
• Variety beyond reporting
  Engage in projects, change initiatives and business-facing activities alongside your core technical accounting duties.
• Stable but evolving environment
  Join an established business undergoing ongoing transformation and investment, offering scope to influence and shape improvements.

• ACA or ACCA qualified with a strong technical accounting background
• Ideal for candidates making a first move from practice with solid technical skills seeking a broader role, or those looking for greater ownership, visibility and impact
• Comfortable working closely with the business while applying technical expertise

If you are seeking a role that balances technical accounting proficiency with commercial involvement, this position offers an excellent opportunity.
