Job Description:

Are you the type of accountant who spots problems before everyone else does?

Can you challenge weak controls, improve processes, and bring clarity to complex financial environments?

We’re partnering with a large, well-established business seeking an ambitious Financial Accounting Manager to take ownership of financial control, systems governance, and a high-performing accounting team.

This is far more than a traditional Financial Accounting Manager role.

You’ll be the person ensuring the integrity of the numbers, driving month-end performance, strengthening controls, and acting as the link between finance operations, reporting, and systems. You’ll have genuine influence on how finance operates moving forward.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop the Financial Accounting, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable teams.
  • Own the accuracy, completeness and integrity of the financial ledger.
  • Drive an efficient month-end and year-end close process.
  • Take responsibility for chart of accounts, financial master data and reporting structures.
  • Improve controls, governance and financial processes across the business.
  • Partner with auditors, senior finance leadership and key stakeholders.
  • Support system enhancements and finance transformation initiatives.

About You

  • ACA / ACCA / CIMA Qualified.
  • Strong financial accounting and controls background.
  • Experience leading and developing finance teams.
  • Proven ownership of month-end close and statutory reporting processes.
  • Comfortable improving systems, processes and ways of working.
  • Able to influence stakeholders and drive accountability across the finance function.

Why Apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business at a point where finance has a real seat at the table. You’ll inherit a broad remit, lead a capable team, and have the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the finance function through process improvement, control enhancement and systems ownership.
