Group Accountant - #2087085

Are you an ACA-qualified auditor ready to step out of practice and into a fast-paced, high-growth environment?

We're partnering with a private equity-backed, rapidly scaling business looking to hire a technically strong Group Accountant. This role is ideal for a first-time mover from audit who wants to broaden their experience, gain commercial exposure, and play a key role within a dynamic Group Finance function.

Joining a high-performing finance team, you'll take ownership of the month-end close process at group level, ensuring robust financial reporting aligned to FRS 102, while also gaining exposure to senior stakeholders and strategic decision-making.

This is a highly visible role offering the chance to drive process improvements, enhance controls, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of a business in growth mode.

• Lead and coordinate the group month-end close, ensuring all deadlines are met
• Review accounting entries to ensure compliance with FRS 102 and best practice
• Act as a key contact for external audit, supporting queries and requests
• Produce and present variance analysis across weekly and monthly reporting
• Partner with commercial teams to understand and reduce reporting differences
• Identify risks and opportunities within financial performance
• Own the balance sheet reconciliation process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
• Drive continuous improvement, streamlining processes and implementing best practice
• Support wider ad hoc projects in a fast-evolving environment

• ACA/ACCA qualified, ideally trained within a Top 10 / Top 20 firm
• Strong grounding in audit, financial reporting, and controls
• Solid understanding of FRS 102 and statutory reporting
• Confident communicator, able to engage with senior stakeholders
• Analytical mindset with a proactive, solutions-focused approach
• A genuine interest in joining a high-growth, PE-backed business
• Clear progression path as the business continues to scale
