Finance Manager Financial Accounting & Controls Location: Nottingham (hybrid, office first with flexibility) The package: £55,000 to £62,000 basic 10% bonus 25 days holiday with option to buy more, increasing with service 6% matched pension Plus a strong wider benefits package If you're a qualified accountant who enjoys the technical side of finance but doesn't want to lose the commercial edge, this one is worth a look. This is a Finance Manager role sitting within a large, complex UK group, focused on financial accounting, controls and technical guidance across multiple entities. Why this role stands out: Progression that actually happens There's a clear pathway into senior roles. People move on internally here, not sideways endlessly. Breadth and exposure You'll be working across a wide group structure with multiple entities, giving you proper exposure to group reporting, statutory accounts and controls. Variety beyond reporting This isn't just a reporting role. You'll get involved in projects, change activity and business facing work alongside the core technical accounting. Stable but evolving environment Established business, but with ongoing transformation and investment, so there's still plenty to improve and shape. The role: Reporting into the Head of Technical Accounting, you'll sit within a developing controllership function that's currently being reshaped. It's a good time to join if you want to influence how things are done rather than inherit something fully set. The role is technically strong. You'll be working across IFRS and UK GAAP, with some exposure to US GAAP during an ongoing transition. Core areas include: • Statutory accounts across multiple entities • Group reporting and month end oversight • Review and control of journals and reporting outputs • Strengthening financial controls and governance • Supporting audit and compliance activity Alongside this, you'll get involved in project work, including acquisitions and wider finance transformation. A key part of the role is looking at new products and services and making sure the accounting treatment is right from the outset. There's regular interaction with senior stakeholders, including exposure at senior leadership level, so you need to be comfortable stepping out of the detail and explaining the "why". Who this suits: You'll likely be ACA or ACCA qualified with a strong grounding in technical accounting. This could be a first move from practice if you're technically strong and want a broader role, or a second move if you're looking for more ownership, visibility and impact. If you want a role where you can properly use your technical skillset but still stay close to the business, this is a good balance. Apply now with your up to date CV.
