Job Description

Newly qualified / Qualified Management Accountant for a PE-backed Talent Agency in London

Your new company
A PE-backed talent agency group is entering a new and more strategically involved chapter, underpinned by ambitious growth plans. With a clear objective to accelerate expansion through acquisitions and position the business for a sale/exit within the next five years, the group is already targeting three acquisitions, including opportunities across Europe. To support this scale and evolution, the business is seeking to hire a Management Accountant who will strengthen the finance function and play a key role in integrating new entities as the organisation grows.

Your new role
As a Management Accountant, you will be responsible for but not limited to the below:

  • Management accounting & reporting under UK GAAP
  • Tax, statutory submission and VAT
  • Prepare financial forecasts and cashflow projections
  • Remapping financial data into required group reporting formats
  • Payroll, pension and benefits

What you'll need to succeed
  • ACA / CIMA / ACCA qualified
  • If practice qualified need to have accounts preparation experience, not pure audit.
  • UK GAAP
  • Multi-entity/inter-company / VAT / payroll


What you'll get in return
This is an exciting opportunity to join a business on a clear growth trajectory. With several acquisitions already in motion and ambitious plans to scale, this role will naturally develop and expand as the organisation evolves. The culture is friendly, laid back, and collaborative, yet also hardworking, with a strong sense of teamwork and shared purpose across the business.
