Finance Manager
Salary: Up to £85,000 + Benefits
Location: London – City
Working Pattern: Hybrid – 3 days per week in the office
We’re working with a high-growth, PE-backed technology business looking to appoint a technically strong Finance Manager to join their London finance team.
Reporting to the Financial Controller, this is a broad role with exposure across group reporting, technical accounting, controls, audit and finance transformation. You’ll also manage and develop a small team, whilst remaining hands-on and close to the detail.
It would suit an ACA-qualified accountant who trained within a Top 10 firm and has since gained experience within industry, or someone looking to build on an initial move out of practice within a fast-paced, commercially driven environment.
The Role
- Taking ownership of key areas of the monthly and year-end reporting process
- Supporting the preparation and review of consolidated group reporting
- Reviewing monthly management accounts and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial information
- Managing balance sheet reporting, reconciliations and the wider financial control environment
- Supporting the preparation of statutory accounts across multiple entities
- Acting as a key point of contact for the external auditors and managing audit requirements
- Providing technical accounting support across the group
- Reviewing accounting treatments and ensuring compliance with relevant accounting standards
- Managing and developing a small finance team, reviewing their work and supporting their progression
- Maintaining oversight of transactional finance and ensuring issues are identified and resolved
- Working closely with the Group Financial Controller to strengthen processes and controls as the business scales
- Supporting finance transformation, systems development and process automation
- Identifying opportunities to improve the quality and efficiency of financial reporting
- Working with stakeholders across the wider business to improve financial understanding and reporting
- Supporting wider projects and ad hoc analysis across the finance function

- Experience of consolidations and group reporting
