We're partnering with a high-growth, PE-backed international business looking for an experienced Head of Financial Accounting to lead the financial accounting, reporting and control function across the Group.
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a broad leadership role with genuine autonomy. We're looking for someone who enjoys building high-performing teams, improving processes and making sure the finance function is operating at its best. Someone who likes to roll their sleeves up, lead from the front and help drive continuous improvement.

You'll lead the Financial Accounting function with responsibility for:
- Financial accounting, statutory reporting and Group consolidations across multiple entities.
- Month-end, quarter-end and year-end close.
- Technical accounting, external audit and financial governance.
- Treasury, cash flow management and working capital oversight.
- Driving improvements across financial controls, systems and processes.
- Leading, developing and mentoring the Financial Accounting team.
- Partnering with senior stakeholders across the business and supporting international finance teams.
- Ensuring compliance with accounting standards and statutory requirements across the Group.
