A newly created Finance Manager role reporting into the Financial Controller of a PE-backed business. This is a genuinely hands-on opportunity to own the numbers for the first time, build the function in your own image, and make your mark early in a business with real momentum behind it.
What you'll do:
- Take full ownership of the month-end close, delivering it to a consistent, reliable timetable
- Rebuild the quality of data going into the accounting system so numbers are right first time and variances are properly explained
- Bring deferred income, accrued revenue and balance-sheet reconciliations in-house and under proper control
- Strengthen financial controls — particularly approvals, purchase orders, credit notes and banking
- Document and improve processes as you go
- Work closely with the managing director and senior team to raise the standard of financial discipline across the business
