Finance Manager (12 Month FTC)
London (Hybrid / Remote Working Supported)
£60,000 - £80,000, DOE + Bonus and Full Company Benefits
Nirvana Search are currently partnering with a highly successful, Private Equity-backed professional services business to recruit a versatile Finance Manager on an initial 12 month fixed-term contract. You will be joining a highly acquisitive and rapidly growing division within the broader group. With a strong pipeline of M&A activity, this is a fast-paced environment where finance plays a critical role in driving and supporting commercial success.
The Role
This is a truly broad, all-encompassing position. The business requires a hands-on finance professional who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves for transactional tasks as they are delivering high-level reporting.
Key responsibilities will include:
- End-to-End Accounting: Taking full ownership of the numbers, from transactional duties (including credit control) through to the preparation and delivery of full management accounts.
- Core Finance Duties: Managing all prepayments, accruals and VAT returns.
- M&A Support: Playing a key role in supporting the division through heavy M&A activity, assisting with the financial integration of new acquisitions.
- Data & Process Improvement: Spearheading data cleansing initiatives to ensure accuracy and consistency across the division and wider group.
- Group Collaboration: Acting as the primary finance contact for this growing division while providing robust support to the wider group finance function.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

The Candidate

- Immediately available or available on short notice to commit to a 12-month fixed-term contract.
