Job Description & How to Apply Below

The Opportunity

You’ll join a growing Group with significant fixed assets, complex stock, and real operational depth. This is hands-on management accounting working closely with site leadership, operations and the wider Group finance team.

It’s not a role for someone who wants to hide behind spreadsheets.

It is a role for someone who wants PE exposure, pace, visibility and responsibility early.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Preparing monthly management accounts across multiple legal entities
  • Owning fixed asset accounting (additions, disposals, depreciation)
  • Managing lease accounting and compliance
  • Controlling accruals & prepayments with strong month-end discipline
  • Leading stock and WIP accounting in an asset-heavy manufacturing environment
  • Full balance sheet ownership and reconciliations
  • Supporting year-end audits and statutory reporting
  • Working directly with operational teams to understand production, variances and risk
  • Improving reporting, controls and processes as the Group continues to scale
Who This Is For
  • Recently qualified or close to qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
  • Experience in manufacturing, engineering or another asset-intensive environment
  • Comfortable with fixed assets, stock, WIP, accruals and leases
  • Happy being on site, visible and engaged with non-finance stakeholders
  • Curious, commercially minded and not afraid to challenge or ask questions
  • Someone who wants to progress quickly in a PE-backed business
Why This Role?
  • First-class exposure to a PE-backed group with real complexity
  • Multi-entity, multi-site experience early in your career
  • Genuine influence your work will shape reporting and decision-making
  • Opportunity to redesign processes, not just run them
  • Clear progression as the business continues to scale

This is a proper step-up role, technical, commercial and hands-on, ideal for someone who wants more than just “owning month-end”.
