Finance Manager - London - High Growth Specialist Financial Services SME

My client, a growing financial services business, is looking for a qualified accountant to take ownership of day-to-day finance operations and month-end, reporting into the Financial Controller.

This is a broad, hands-on role. It suits someone a year or two post-qualification who wants exposure across the whole finance function and the chance to shape processes as the team scales.

What you'll be doing:

• Owning AR, AP and the finance inbox, and setting priorities for a Finance Assistant
• Running the month-end timetable, including journals, accruals, prepayments, and balance-sheet and bank reconciliations
• Supporting management accounts, budget-vs-actual reporting and variance commentary
• Managing payroll inputs, expenses, supplier records and fixed assets
• Preparing monthly commission calculations and investigating variances
• Producing audit schedules and keeping processes documented and controlled
• Finding ways to automate and streamline recurring work
