Head of Technical Finance
East Midlands
We’ve been exclusively engaged by one of the East Midlands’ top employers, a high-performing PLC with a global footprint, to recruit a standout Head of Technical Finance.
This is a unique opportunity to join a business at the forefront of innovation and operational excellence. You’ll play a critical leadership role within the Financial Control team, providing technical finance expertise across a complex and highly regulated division.
This is more than a reporting role. You’ll be a key partner to the Group, external auditors, and senior stakeholders, bringing confidence, clarity, and technical rigour to the integrity of financial statements, forecasts, and strategic decision-making.
Responsibilities:
• Lead external audit programme management across the division, partnering closely with External Audit Partner and Group Finance
• Prepare and present key audit issue papers to the divisional Audit Committee
• Provide authoritative insight on technical accounting treatments (IFRS) and policy interpretation
• Challenge the integrity and accuracy of financials through robust risk management
• Enforce governance frameworks to mitigate financial risk, fraud, and error
• Offer functional assurance on all major investments, bids, and contracts
• Direct and develop a team of two (Technical Finance Business Partner + Chief Accountant)
• Be a core member of the Financial Control Leadership Team, setting strategic direction and aligning teams
What we’re looking for:
• ACA/ACCA qualified with strong IFRS expertise, ideally from a Big 4 or audit background
• Excellent technical accounting knowledge including FX and complex transactions
• Proven experience working in or with PLC environments
• Outstanding communicator and influencer, able to distil complex topics into actionable insights
• A calm, credible leader who thrives under pressure and enjoys problem solving
• A track record of delivering to tight deadlines with commercial awareness
If you’re seeking a technically rich, commercially influential leadership role, in a business that values challenge, collaboration, and continuous improvement we’d love to hear from you.
