Finance Manager

We're partnering with a high growth, private equity-backed marketing agency in their search for a Finance Manager.

This is a newly created role, overseeing a high performing team of Management Accountants, and with responsibility for delivering the relevant management information for all UK, US, EMEA and APAC entities.

We’re looking to speak with strong Finance Managers who’ve got experience in the marketing services space and exposure to people management. This is a great opportunity for someone stepping up from a management accounting role or someone already operating at the Finance Manager level. They offer continued development and the chance to keep progressing – this is clearly evidenced with other finance team members.

If you want to be part of business bucking the trend and growing from strength to strength, we’d love to talk.
