The Financial Accounting Manager will be someone with a growth mindset; a person who challenges legacy processes, seeks smarter and more efficient ways of working, and actively contributes to positive change.

What you will do:

Financial Reporting & Compliance

• Manage month-end, quarter-end, and year-end closing processes, including journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and financial analysis.

Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable

• Manage the relationship with the external shared service centre responsible for accounts payable, ensuring accurate and timely invoice processing, payment runs, and supplier statement reconciliations.

Fixed Asset & Lease Accounting

• Maintain the fixed asset register, including asset capitalisation, depreciation, disposals, and reconciliations.
• Ensure compliance with capitalisation policies and support asset audits to confirm proper documentation is maintained for internal and external review.
• Work proactively with operational and departmental teams to educate and inform stakeholders on fixed asset processes, increasing awareness and compliance across the business.
• Ensure proper accounting for all operating and finance leases, including the calculation of lease liabilities, Right of Use assets, and related journal entries.
• Work closely with internal departments to ensure that all lease-related agreements are captured and accounted for correctly.

Internal Controls and Continuous Improvement

• Champion best practices with all internal controls, promoting a culture of accountability, transparency, and control integrity across the finance function.
• Identify control gaps or weaknesses and drive corrective actions to strengthen the control environment.
• Identify and drive opportunities for process improvement and automation.

What you will gain:

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to take ownership of core accounting functions in a fast-paced and supportive environment. You\’ll play a vital role in ensuring accurate reporting, compliance, and financial integrity-while working alongside a collaborative, detail-focused team.
