Your new company
You’ll be joining a well‑established, values‑driven organisation with a long history of delivering quality services and meaningful experiences to its customers. The business operates across multiple regions and is known for its focus on service excellence, innovation and continuous improvement. With a strong commitment to people, purpose and responsible practices, this is an environment where your contribution will directly support a wider mission and long‑term organisational success.
Your new role
As Accounting Manager, you’ll take a lead position in ensuring the accuracy, integrity and reliability of financial information across several entities. Managing the general ledger, you will oversee the full month‑end close process, maintain high‑quality financial controls and support both internal and external audits.
You will:
- Manage timely and accurate month‑end close activities.
- Maintain robust reconciliations and ensure compliance with relevant accounting standards.
- Prepare audit schedules and collaborate effectively with auditors.
- Lead, develop and support a small team across key accounting areas, including fixed assets, intercompany activity and journals.

You’ll be a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with 5–8 years’ experience in an accounting leadership position. A strong technical foundation in IFRS and statutory reporting is essential, along with proven experience managing close cycles, reconciliations, accruals and audit processes.
You will also bring:
- Experience working with ERP systems (ideally including major platforms such as Oracle).
- Strong leadership capability, including managing teams in multi‑location or multi‑entity environments.
- Key personal attributes such as exceptional attention to detail, resilience under pressure and a collaborative working style.
You’ll join a forward‑thinking organisation that values its people and encourages continuous development. The role offers hybrid working, exposure to a broad operational finance landscape and the chance to contribute to meaningful improvements across the Record‑to‑Report cycle. Any travel requirements can be discussed with the hiring manager as part of the onboarding process.
What to do next If you’re a confident, technically strong finance professional looking for a rewarding fixed‑term opportunity with real scope to influence, develop and deliver, we’d be delighted to hear from you. # 4770406
