Finance Manager

Group Accountant | Private Equity-Backed | Fast-Paced Growth Environment | ACA / ACCA / CIMA

Salary – £60,000 – £70,000 p.a plus bonus

I am currently partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed group seeking a technically strong and commercially aware Group Accountant to join their central finance function.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified accountant who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and wants exposure to group reporting, acquisitions, systems optimisation and strategic finance activity.

The Role

Reporting to the Group FP&A Manager, you will play a key role in supporting financial reporting, consolidation, compliance and process improvement across the group.

You will be involved in:

• Supporting the integration of new acquisitions including systems, policies and compliance
• Group consolidation and monthly reporting packs
• Preparation of financial statements for non-trading entities
• Balance sheet reconciliations and month-end close
• Debt facilities management and covenant calculations
• Audit preparation and corporation tax support
• Loan note interest payments and HMRC returns
• FRS 102 compliance across the group
• Developing and strengthening internal controls
• ESG financial data collection and KPI reporting
• Acting as a system super-user and driving efficiencies across the finance platform

This role offers genuine breadth and visibility across a complex, multi-entity structure.

What We Are Looking For

• Fully qualified accountant ACA, ACCA or CIMA
• Strong understanding of UK GAAP and FRS 102
• Advanced Excel skills

1. Proactive, adaptable and keen to improve processes

Private equity exposure would be advantageous but is not essential. Mindset and technical strength are key.

Why Consider This Role

• Exposure to acquisitions and integration activity
• Opportunity to shape systems and controls
• Fast-paced, commercially driven environment
• High visibility with senior stakeholders including CFO and Finance Directors

If you are looking to step into a role with real scope and impact within a growing private equity-backed group, I would welcome a confidential conversation.
