The Opportunity
A fast-growing technology and hardware business is looking to appoint a Finance Manager to join its expanding London finance team.
The company operates a project-led model, delivering a mixture of technology, hardware and service solutions to its customers. With projects ranging from shorter-term implementations through to complex, multi-year contracts, the business is looking for someone to take ownership of the financial accounting and reporting across its project portfolio.
This is a broad role sitting between financial control, project accounting and commercial finance, with significant exposure to operational stakeholders across the business.
The Role
Key responsibilities will include:
- Owning revenue recognition and contract accounting across a portfolio of customer projects
- Accounting for contracts spanning multiple accounting periods, including percentage completion
- Managing WIP, accrued and deferred revenue
- Ensuring project costs and labour are accurately captured and allocated
- Producing monthly project reporting covering revenue, costs, margins and project performance
- Investigating project variances and ensuring movements and adjustments are fully understood
- Preparing monthly management accounts through to gross margin
- Supporting consolidated reporting across multiple entities
- Managing project-related intercompany accounting
- Reviewing project provisions and ensuring balances are appropriately supported
- Working closely with commercial and operational teams to understand project performance
- Supporting budgeting and forecasting with accurate project financial information
- Improving finance processes, controls and reporting as the business continues to scale
- Supporting the development of ERP, project costing and management reporting systems
- Acting as a key finance contact for project-related audit and statutory reporting
About You
You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with experience working within a project, contract or similarly complex commercial environment.
You’ll ideally have:
- Experience with revenue recognition across longer-term contracts
- Strong knowledge of WIP, accrued/deferred revenue and project accounting
- An understanding of IFRS 15 and performance obligations
- Exposure to multi-entity and intercompany reporting
- Strong understanding of project costing and gross margin
