The Role

Financial Reporting & Analysis

• Lead the preparation and review of monthly management accounts across multiple UK entities.
• Deliver accurate, timely, and insightful financial reporting to senior stakeholders.
• Produce meaningful variance analysis and commentary to support business performance.
• Ensure consistency, accuracy, and integrity across all financial reporting.

Process Improvement & Controls

• Design, implement, and enhance finance processes and internal controls.
• Standardise reporting across a diverse and evolving business.
• Drive efficiencies throughout the month-end close and wider reporting cycle.
• Embed best-practice financial controls in line with Group policies.

ERP Transformation

• Play a key role in the implementation and optimisation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
• Support the development of reporting structures within the new ERP platform.
• Act as a key liaison between Finance and Systems teams.
• Champion new technologies and drive adoption of improved ways of working.

Audit & Statutory Reporting

• Serve as a primary contact for the year-end audit process and external auditors.
• Ensure financial information, reconciliations, and supporting documentation are audit-ready.
• Prepare statutory accounts and maintain compliance with regulatory and Group reporting requirements.
• Strengthen governance and financial controls across the organisation.

Business Partnering

• Work closely with commercial, operational, and finance teams across the UK.
• Provide financial insight to support strategic and operational decision-making.
• Build strong relationships with both finance and non-finance stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

• Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA)
• Strong experience in financial reporting, month-end close, and management accounts.
• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to communicate financial information clearly.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience working with financial systems.
• A track record of supporting business change, transformation, or systems implementation projects.
• A process-driven mindset with a natural ability to identify efficiencies and improve controls.
• Confidence working in evolving environments where you can create structure and drive positive change.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience with OneStream or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central would be advantageous, but is not essential.

Why This Role

This is a rare opportunity to shape a finance function during a genuine period of transformation, not just maintain one. Real ownership, real variety, and the chance to build something rather than simply run it
