A growing and ambitious business is seeking a qualified Finance Manager to support its expanding finance and investment operations. Backed by external capital, the organisation is entering a key phase of growth and development.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially aware, technically strong accountant to step into a role offering significant exposure to investment structures, development projects, and senior stakeholders. The business environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and well suited to someone looking to add value in a hands-on, evolving role.

The Role:

The Finance Manager will take ownership of financial reporting and oversight for several investment entities. The role will involve regular engagement with blue-chip external investors, joint venture partners, and internal leadership, supporting both operational and strategic decision-making across the group.

Ideal for a Chartered Accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) looking to make their first move from practice (particularly from audit, corporate finance or transaction services) or for someone already in industry with relevant exposure, this role offers a blend of financial control, commercial insight, and stakeholder interaction.

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee financial reporting, cost monitoring, and funding drawdowns across active investment projects
• Prepare and review management accounts for investment vehicles and joint ventures
• Manage debt and equity funding processes including drawdowns and compliance monitoring
• Lead the preparation of investor reporting packs and manage related communications
• Liaise with auditors, tax advisors, and other external service providers
• Support refinancing, due diligence, and other corporate finance activity as needed
• Coordinate statutory accounts and audit processes for relevant entities
• Ensure compliance with VAT, corporation tax, and other regulatory requirements
• Provide timely financial insight to inform business planning and investment decisions

Candidate Profile:

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent)
• Strong technical and reporting skills, with a hands-on approach
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management capabilities
• Adaptable, proactive, and comfortable in a high-growth, evolving business environment

Package:

• Hybrid working available
• Long-term development and progression potential
• High level of exposure to investors and strategic decision-making
