Group Reporting Manager in Manchester

Axon Moore is delighted to have exclusively partnered with a long-term client who is looking to bolster their finance team with the addition of a Group Reporting Manager. As a consequence of both organic growth and M&A, our client has formed a group structure and is looking to establish a best-in-class function to support the lofty ambitions of the Group as they continue their impressive growth story.

Reporting into the Group Financial Controller, the position will hold a broad set of responsibilities, with a core focus on consolidated group reporting (an essential background for any applicant). However, the role has plenty of exposure across the business, and therefore, we are looking for those with a commercial acumen and strong stakeholder skillset to support the rapid progression of the finance function. Therefore, the position is going to ideally suit an ACA Manager, looking to make an exit into industry for the first time, or someone seeking their second industry move.

The role is predominantly remote, but having originated from South Manchester, there is a requirement to meet in the office occasionally and travel down to London periodically. Having worked with the business for several years, we can say with confidence that it is a fantastic place to work, with plenty opportunity to progress rapidly. With a fast recruitment process planned, we’re looking for driven, ambitious individuals who are excited by the opportunity to make a real impact and accelerate their career.
