About the Company
We are partnering with a well-established national business that is looking for an ambitious and commercially minded finance leader to take ownership of a sizeable Client Accounting function operating across multiple UK locations.
About the Role
This is far more than a traditional accounting leadership role. You'll inherit a successful function and be given the platform to shape its future. From driving digital transformation and process improvement to bringing together geographically dispersed teams under a unified operating model, this is an opportunity to leave a genuine legacy within a highly respected organisation. If you enjoy challenging the status quo, leading large teams through change and combining strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, this could be the perfect next step.
Responsibilities
- Leading a multi-site Client Accounting function and developing a high-performing national team.
- Driving operational excellence through process improvement, automation, and standardisation.
- Partnering with senior stakeholders across the business to influence change and deliver long-term efficiencies.
- Reviewing systems, controls, and workflows to identify opportunities for transformation.
- Supporting business growth through client engagement, tender presentations, and commercial decision-making.
- Developing robust reporting, forecasting, and performance metrics to support operational and strategic objectives.
- Playing a key role in shaping the future structure of the function over the next 12-24 months.
