Finance Manager Accounting and Controls

Finance Manager | Financial Accounting & Controls
Location: Nottingham (Office first with flexibility)

Package • £55,000 to £65,000 basic salary

• 10% bonus


• 25 days holiday with the option to buy more, increasing with service


• 6% matched pension


• Strong wider benefits package

If you are a qualified accountant who enjoys the technical side of finance but wishes to maintain a commercial edge, this opportunity is well worth your consideration.

About the Role This Finance Manager position sits within a large, complex UK group, focusing on financial accounting, controls and providing technical guidance across multiple entities.

Key Responsibilities • Preparation of statutory accounts across multiple entities

• Group reporting and month-end oversight


• Review and control of journals and reporting outputs


• Strengthening financial controls and governance


• Supporting audit and compliance activities


• Involvement in project work including acquisitions and finance transformation


• Ensuring correct accounting treatment for new products and services from inception

Reporting to the Head of Technical Accounting, you will be part of a developing controllership function undergoing reshaping. This presents an excellent opportunity to influence processes rather than simply inherit established practises.

The role demands strong technical expertise, working across IFRS and UK GAAP, with some exposure to US GAAP during an ongoing transition.

You will regularly engage with senior stakeholders, including senior leadership, so the ability to communicate complex details clearly and explain the rationale behind decisions is essential.

Why This Role Stands Out • Progression that actually happens
Clear pathways into senior roles with genuine internal movement upwards, not lateral shifts.

• Breadth and exposure

Work across a wide group structure with multiple entities, gaining substantial experience in group reporting, statutory accounts and controls.

• Variety beyond reporting

Engage in projects, change initiatives and business-facing activities alongside your core technical accounting duties.

• Stable but evolving environment

Join an established business undergoing ongoing transformation and investment, offering scope to influence and shape improvements.
Candidate Profile • ACA or ACCA qualified with a strong technical accounting background

• Ideal for candidates making a first move from practise with solid technical skills seeking a broader role, or those looking for greater ownership, visibility and impact


• Comfortable working closely with the business while applying technical expertise

If you are seeking a role that balances technical accounting proficiency with commercial involvement, this position offers an excellent opportunity.
