The Role
We are undergoing an exciting time in our evolution and now seek a Finance Manager. This is a newly formalised role reporting to the Group Financial Controller, created to give the transactional finance function a dedicated, experienced owner as the group scales through an active M&A programme.
The Finance Manager will be responsible for day-to-day ownership of accounts receivable, accounts payable, cash management and payroll, and acts together with the Management
Accountant as the Group FC's right hand: the person who keeps the numbers moving
reliably enough that the FC can focus upward, on consolidation, statutory reporting and
audit and due-diligence readiness.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the transactions team which includes credit control, accounts payable and finance assistants plus payroll, a team of circa 8–9 people today, expected to flex as the group's acquisition pipeline adds entities.
Essential:
- Proven experience working in a private-equity-backed business — comfortable with the pace, scrutiny and reporting discipline that comes with PE ownership.
- Solid, hands-on experience managing accounts receivable, accounts payable and cash functions, ideally alongside payroll.
- People management experience, with the ability to lead and develop a small transactional finance team.
- Strong controls mindset — able to spot and fix a process gap before it becomes an audit finding.
- Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) or qualified by experience at an equivalent level.
Desirable:
- Experience operating through an M&A integration or multi-entity group structure.
- Experience working with HiBob, Microsoft Business Central and ConnectWise would be beneficial.
- UK payroll processing experience (PAYE, NI, pensions auto-enrolment) gained directly, rather than solely through oversight of an outsourced provider.
Key Attributes:
- Hands-on and delivery-focused — this is a doing role as much as a managing one.
- Comfortable being a trusted right hand rather than the most senior voice in the room; a strong number two.
- Clear communicator, able to flag issues early rather than let them surface at month-end or in due diligence.
