Group Accountant / Manchester (Hybrid) / Salary £50,000 - £55,000
Are you an ACA-qualified auditor ready to step out of practice and into a fast-paced, high-growth environment? We're partnering with a private equity-backed, rapidly scaling business looking to hire a technically strong Group Accountant. This role is ideal for a first-time mover from audit who wants to broaden their experience, gain commercial exposure, and play a key role within a dynamic Group Finance function.
The Opportunity
Joining a high-performing finance team, you'll take ownership of the month-end close process at group level, ensuring robust financial reporting aligned to FRS 102, while also gaining exposure to senior stakeholders and strategic decision-making. This is a highly visible role offering the chance to drive process improvements, enhance controls, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of a business in growth mode.
