We are recruiting a Finance Manager for a key role within the Central Services finance team.

• Take ownership of budgeting and forecasting, working closely with key stakeholders across central functions
• Partner with operational leaders across HR, IT, Marketing and other head office functions to provide insight, challenge spend and support decision-making
• Play a key role in year-end and audit processes, including preparation of reporting packs and resolution of audit queries
• Maintain and reconcile balance sheet positions, ensuring accuracy, control and clear understanding of key movements
• Act as a key link between Central Services and Regional Finance Teams, supporting consistency, best practice and alignment across the group
• Identify and support improvements to reporting, controls and processes, helping to drive efficiency across the finance function

Person Specification
• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
• Strong technical grounding with solid experience in management accounting and financial reporting
• Confident communicator with the ability to build strong relationships across both finance and non-finance stakeholders
• Advanced Excel skills with strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to data accuracy and integrity
• Commercially aware with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset and the ability to work through detail as well as see the bigger picture
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and contributing to continuous improvement and best practice
• Experience in a similar Finance Manager, Senior Management Accountant or comparable role would be highly beneficial

What’s On Offer
This permanent position offers a salary of circa £50,000–£65,000 DOE, plus car allowance, alongside a strong wider benefits package including bonus, private medical insurance, pension scheme, share options, and additional lifestyle benefits.

The role offers a flexible hybrid working model, typically 2-3 days in the office.

Whilst this is a sizeable PLC environment, the culture within the finance team is supportive, collaborative and down-to-earth, with a strong emphasis on teamwork, development and giving individuals the autonomy to make a real impact. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants broad exposure across management accounts, business partnering, audit and year-end, while playing a key role in shaping consistency across a developing regional structure.

If you are passionate about broad, hands-on finance roles and want the opportunity to make a tangible impact within a growing and evolving finance function, we would love to hear from you.
