The Role
Are you a detail-oriented finance professional looking to make an impact in a dynamic, collaborative environment? We’re seeking a commercially minded and analytically strong finance professional to join our team in a permanent position that will evolve over time.
For the first 18-24 months, the role will primarily focus on providing backfill cover for a Financial Controller/Management Accountant position, whilst the business undertakes a significant transformation to the existing ERP system. During this period you’ll help prepare monthly accounts, forecasts, and budgets, while assisting in the smooth day-to-day running of the local finance function. This initial phase will also provide an excellent opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the business, its operations, systems, and key performance drivers, creating a strong foundation for the role's future development.
Following this period, the role will transition towards a Finance Business Partner position, with responsibilities focusing on supporting the commercial and operations teams to drive business performance through insightful analysis, strategic decision-making support, and continuous improvement initiatives. As a result, the nature of the role and its responsibilities will evolve from the initial financial control-focused support requirements.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious finance professional who enjoys both the technical aspects of finance and partnering with the wider business to deliver results.
Your Responsibilities
Phase 1: Management Accountant tasks
Preparing monthly journals and assisting with Management and Group reporting.- Producing financial KPI reports for local and wider management.
- Maintenance of schedules, such as, accruals and depreciation.

- Assisting with the Annual Statutory audit and Internal Audits.
- Assisting with accounts receivable and accounts payable tasks if required, and various other accounting tasks as and when needed.
Beyond the initial 18-24 month period, the role will evolve in line with the future needs of the business. Whilst there is an expectation that the position will move towards a more commercially focused finance partnering and analytical role, the exact responsibilities & title have intentionally not been fully defined. This reflects the dynamic nature of the organisation and the opportunities that will emerge following the completion of a significant ERP transformation.
