About the Role
We're on the lookout for a Commercial Finance Manager to join our Strategic Finance team and help drive growth in our fastest-growing business area.

* Partnering closely with Ops, Property and Treasury teams to turn plans into reality
* Helping practice owners plan for growth and succession
* Seeing the tangible results of your work in new openings and business expansions
About You

We're looking for:
* A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA)
* Proven experience in financial modelling & forecasting
* Excellent stakeholder communication skills
* A commercial mindset and the confidence to challenge assumptions
