- Supporting broader business transformation, operational improvement and strategic projects
- Driving continuous improvement across financial controls, processes and reporting

About you

We are looking for a well-rounded Finance Manager who combines strong technical accounting knowledge with commercial acumen and the ability to build relationships across the business.

Ideally, you will have:

- CA/CPA qualification or equivalent accounting/finance background
- Experience operating in a Finance Manager, Financial Controller or senior financial accounting position
- Strong financial reporting experience, including statutory accounts, taxation and compliance
- Proven experience across budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and financial planning
- Strong management reporting, variance analysis and financial modelling capability
- Experience with project accounting, project profitability and cost analysis

What's on offer?

- Opportunity to join a global, UK-listed business
- Genuine commercial partnering exposure across the business
- Ownership across financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and project accounting
- Opportunity to work closely with regional and global finance stakeholders
- Involvement in post-acquisition integration, transformation and process improvement
- The autonomy of working within a smaller business, backed by the resources of a multinational

If you're a technically strong, commercially minded Finance Manager who enjoys taking ownership, partnering with the business and driving improvements, this is a excellent opportunity.
