We have been exclusively appointed by a large, established healthcare organisation to hire a Head of Financial Reporting.
This is a broad senior finance leadership role for someone who can combine strong technical financial reporting expertise with excellent commercial and business partnering skills.
Working across a complex, multi-entity organisation, you'll bring together financial reporting, FP&A and business partnering, ensuring the numbers are not only accurate and well controlled, but properly understood, challenged and used to support better decision-making.
You'll also have the opportunity to shape and develop the finance team, bringing together areas that have historically operated separately and creating a more connected, commercially focused finance function.
The role
You will take responsibility for:
- Leading group financial reporting across a complex, multi-entity organisation
- Ensuring strong financial control, balance sheet integrity and technical accounting
- Overseeing month-end, statutory reporting, audit and key reporting deadlines
- Bringing together financial reporting, FP&A and business partnering
- Providing meaningful analysis and insight behind the numbers, challenging where appropriate
- Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders across the organisation
- Leading, coaching and developing a team of experienced finance managers
- Improving reporting processes, tools and systems while maintaining robust day-to-day financial operations
- Playing a key role in the continued development and integration of the wider finance function
About you
You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with a strong technical grounding combined with the ability to operate as an effective and credible business partner.
Ideally, you will have started your career in accountancy practice before developing your career within industry, giving you both strong technical foundations and broader commercial experience. Big Four experience is not required.
You'll be comfortable operating within a complex, multi-entity environment, with a good understanding of financial reporting, controls, balance sheets, audit and consolidation.
Just as importantly, you'll be someone who can step back from the numbers, understand what they mean for the wider organisation and confidently challenge and influence stakeholders.
You'll also be a positive and engaging leader, capable of bringing teams together, developing people and improving how finance works across the organisation.
Sector experience is flexible. Healthcare experience would be useful but is not essential, and we are particularly interested in candidates from service-led, people-intensive or multi-site organisations.
Location: Runcorn, North West. Hybrid working, with regular presence in Runcorn important for the leadership and development of the team.
