The Opportunity
We are working with a highly acquisitive, PE-backed group that is continuing to scale through an active acquisition strategy. As the business grows, it is looking to appoint an experienced Finance Manager to take ownership of the Group month-end process and lead a small team of accountants.
This is a role for someone who enjoys operating in a fast-paced, acquisitive environment and is as comfortable improving processes as they are managing people and delivering against demanding reporting deadlines.
The Role
You will sit at Group level and be responsible for coordinating the month-end close across the business, ensuring that the team delivers accurate and timely information within critical reporting deadlines.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will lead and review rather than prepare the month-end accounts yourself. The role will involve providing direction to a small team of accountants, reviewing and approving their work, resolving issues and continually improving the efficiency and robustness of the close process.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Managing and coordinating the Group month-end timetable and close process.
- Leading a small team of accountants responsible for month-end activities.
- Reviewing and approving the team's work to ensure accuracy and completeness.
- Ensuring critical reporting deadlines are consistently achieved.
- Identifying bottlenecks and implementing improvements to the month-end process.
- Driving greater standardisation, efficiency and control across Group accounting.
- Supporting the integration of newly acquired businesses into the Group reporting framework.
- Working closely with operational and finance stakeholders across the wider Group.
- Providing clear visibility of month-end progress, risks and outstanding issues to senior finance leadership.
- Developing and coaching the team to improve capability and ownership.
