Finance Manager (FTC, 12 Months) — Technical Accounting & Controls
About the Business
A large services group with operations across the UK and Europe, supported by a central finance function responsible for financial control, governance, and management reporting across the business.
The Opportunity
This is a newly created 12-month fixed-term contract, bringing dedicated specialist support into the Central Finance team at a period of significant technical and process change. You'll work closely with the Head of Accounting UK, picking up four distinct, high-priority workstreams that need focused delivery alongside the team's day-to-day responsibilities.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading a technical accounting conversion project, moving the UK entities from current UK GAAP to an updated reporting standard — covering the impact assessment, policy documentation, transition adjustments, and liaison with external auditors
- Supporting a group-wide review of financial controls, building a clear controls inventory, acting as the main point of contact for the review, and working with process owners to implement the resulting improvements
- Leading a structured improvement of the balance sheet reconciliation process, standardising ownership, review tiers, and escalation across entities, and upgrading the templates and guidance behind it
- Owning the accounting and capitalisation treatment for a group-wide systems project, aligning capitalisation criteria to the relevant accounting standards and building the monthly controls to validate capitalised costs
