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.

- Lead a team of five across management accounting, accounts payable and accounts receivable, including coaching and performance management
