As the Group Finance Manager, you will be responsible for managing the Group's financial operations, ensuring the accounts are accurately maintained and in optimal condition, while providing strategic financial guidance to support informed business decisions. From managing the monthly reports to liaising with auditors, you'll be the go-to person for all things finance. But don't worry, this isn't all about balancing books - you'll also be key in supporting business growth and navigating the company through tendering and acquisitions. And yes, you'll need to keep them compliant with FCA regulations!

Key responsibilities:

Oversee all financial transactions for the Group, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Prepare monthly P&L statements, manage the month-end process, and handle VAT and FCA submissions.
Monitor cash flow and provide regular summaries to ensure financial stability.
Provide financial analysis to support business decisions, including tenders, acquisitions, and budgeting.
Authorise payments, oversee credit control, and ensure settlements comply with agreements and regulations.
Act as the primary contact for auditors, accountants, and bankers, ensuring compliance with FCA guidelines.
Lead and mentor the finance team, ensuring productivity and adherence to processes. 

What You'll Need to Succeed:

Part-qualified ACCA, CIMA, or ACA
Strong financial management experience, ideally in a FCA regulated environment.
A solid understanding of financial reporting, audits, and FCA regulations.
Experience with month-end and year-end accounts (you know how to keep things running smoothly).
Sage software experience - they like it, and hopefully, so do you (bonus points if you've worked with Sage Intacct).
A calm and collected approach under pressure 

You'll be joining a friendly, supportive team in a company that values your contribution. They're looking for someone who is not only great with numbers but also brings a level-headed approach to problem-solving and team management. You'll have the chance to make a real impact on the business while working in a role where you're trusted to take ownership of the finance function
