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.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and coordinate the group month-end close, ensuring all deadlines are met
Review accounting entries to ensure compliance with FRS 102 and best practice
Act as a key contact for external audit, supporting queries and requests
Produce and present variance analysis across weekly and monthly reporting
Partner with commercial teams to understand and reduce reporting differences
Identify risks and opportunities within financial performance
Own the balance sheet reconciliation process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
Drive continuous improvement, streamlining processes and implementing best practice
Support wider ad hoc projects in a fast-evolving environment
What We're Looking For
ACA/ACCA qualified, ideally trained within a Top 10 firm
Strong grounding in audit, financial reporting, and controls
Solid understanding of FRS 102 and statutory reporting
Confident communicator, able to engage with senior stakeholders
Analytical mindset with a proactive, solutions-focused approach
A genuine interest in joining a high-growth, PE-backed business
Clear progression path as the business continues to scale
