Job Description & Summary
About the role:
PwC's Finance Managed Services (FMS) team is growing rapidly as clients increasingly seek innovative, tech-enabled and insight-driven support to transform their finance operations. Our team has been successful in winning and delivering multiple global Finance Managed Services, and we have an exciting ambition.

We focus on reimagining our clients' finance operating and delivery models.
Our FMS solutions are designed to be 'plug and play', offering clients scalable capabilities that can be deployed and adjusted over time, providing a flexible alternative to expanding in-house finance teams. We leverage leading cloud-based finance systems, such as Sage Intacct, and a range of other systems tailored to specific industries or business sizes.
