Senior Financial Accountant
Central London
PE-Owned Media Agency Group
£65,000 – £70,000 + bonus + package
A private equity-backed group of international media agencies which has grown quickly through acquisition is looking to recruit a Senior Financial Accountant for their Group Finance team based in Central London.
This is a high-profile, permanent position, created due to internal promotion, and offers an excellent opportunity to join a market-leading business that is on a clear trajectory towards an IPO within the next 2–3 years.
The role will sit at the heart of the group finance function, working closely with a high-calibre team and providing broad exposure across financial reporting, technical accounting, and senior-level stakeholder engagement — including regular interaction with both international leadership and the company’s investment partners.
Key responsibilities will include managing month-end reporting for group entities, including preparation and analysis of P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow with insightful commentary. You will support the development and implementation of group-wide technical accounting policies and play a central role in leading statutory audits and compliance processes. The role also includes ownership of the intercompany and group consolidation process, ensuring discrepancies are identified and resolved proactively.
You will help maintain and evolve the group’s financial reporting procedures and support ongoing M&A and restructuring activity, ensuring seamless integration of new entities. In addition, you will be expected to build strong working relationships with key stakeholders across the group and assist with a variety of ad hoc financial projects.
The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA or equivalent) with strong technical accounting experience, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, matrixed, and international environment. Sector experience in media or communications would be beneficial but is not essential.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their career within a dynamic and internationally focused business, offering real scope for progression as the company continues to grow.
