With a significant programme of M&A activity planned over the next twelve months, this is a genuine opportunity to join at exactly the right moment when the work is interesting, the pace is real, and the scope to grow with the business is tangible.

Salary is £60,000 – £65,000 depending on experience, plus a competitive benefits package.

What's on offer

  * Salary of £60,000 – £65,000 depending on experience

  * Hybrid working – 3 days office/2 days home

  * 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, rising to 30 days after 5 years' service

Based close to Rochdale, Greater Manchester with onsite parking, this role sits at the heart of the finance function, reporting to the Group Financial Controller and taking ownership of group financial reporting across four US entities, alongside the full range of month-end, budgeting, statutory, and cashflow responsibilities.

What the role involves

You'll lead the preparation of annual budgets and periodic reforecasts, own cashflow forecasting and reporting, and support month-end and year-end close. You'll also contribute to statutory accounts and audit preparation. Given the acquisition pipeline, there's meaningful involvement in integration work helping bring new entities into the fold cleanly and consistently.

Beyond the technical, this is a business partnering role. You'll work alongside finance and non-finance stakeholders, liaise with external auditors, tax advisors, and banking partners, and support ongoing improvements to systems and internal controls. You'll also have direct line management responsibility for two members of the finance team, so the ability to lead, develop, and get the best out of people matters as much as the technical toolkit.

What they're looking for

  * A qualified accountant ACA, ACCA, or CIMA with a solid technical foundation and a track record of producing management accounts to a high standard.

  * You'll be comfortable in a multi-currency environment,

  * Confident with complex Excel models, and

  * Experienced leading a small team.

  * Exposure to PE-backed or fast-growth businesses is a genuine advantage, as is hands-on M&A integration experience.

  * If you've worked across UK and US reporting, even better.

The bottom line

This is the kind of role that doesn't come up often at this level in this part of the world a proper finance position with real commercial breadth, in a business that's genuinely going places.
