Finance Manager

£20.8 - £24.1 per hourEstimated

We're looking for a Finance Manager to own our financial close, balance sheet control, and statutory reporting, while leading a small finance team. This is a hands–on role for a qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA or ACA) with a strong audit track record and a sharp eye for the detail that keeps a balance sheet clean. You'll have real ownership over a core part of finance, with scope to drive improvements rather than just maintain the status quo.

Key Requirements

  • Qualified accountant (CIMA / ACCA / ACA) with strong financial accounting experience
  • Track record managing statutory accounts and external audits
  • Experience managing or supervising finance team members
  • Sharp attention to detail and comfort working under deadline pressure
  • A genuine interest in improving how finance works, not just keeping the lights on

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the monthly financial close process and own the integrity of the general ledger
  • Manage statutory reporting and act as primary contact for the year–end audit
  • Lead a team of five across management accounting, accounts payable and accounts receivable, including coaching and performance management
  • Own group reporting submissions and act as liaison with group finance and treasury
  • Drive process improvement and automation across finance workflows

At Gleeson Recruitment Group, we embrace inclusivity and welcome applicants of all backgrounds, experiences, and abilities. We are proud to be a disability confident employer.By applying you will be registered as a candidate with Gleeson Recruitment Limited.
