Group Finance Manager
Leicester (Hybrid)
PE-Backed | Highly Acquisitive | Build & Evolve Environment
Paying up to £75,000 plus benefits
Apointe are partnering exclusively with a private equity-backed, highly acquisitive business as they continue to scale and strengthen their Group finance function with this key hire. The business is growing quickly through acquisition, and finance is at the point where reporting, controls, and consistency need to evolve ahead of that growth.
The Role:
You’ll sit at the centre of the Group finance function, working closely with the Group Financial Controller to ensure reporting is accurate, controlled, and scalable across a multi-entity environment. This isn’t just about reporting what’s happened, it’s about helping shape how reporting and control operates as the business continues to grow.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Owning entity-level financial reporting across a multi-entity Group (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
* Leading month-end close processes, ensuring accuracy, pace, and control
* Strengthening balance sheet integrity through robust reconciliations and review
* Supporting Group consolidation and delivering high-quality reporting into the wider business
* Playing a key role in integrating newly acquired businesses into the reporting framework
* Aligning accounting policies, chart of accounts, and reporting processes across entities
* Supporting statutory reporting, audit processes, and IFRS compliance
* Identifying and implementing improvements across controls, processes, and systems
* Driving consistency, structure, and governance across a growing finance function
* Supporting and developing junior team members within the team
What our client is looking for:
* Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
* Strong grounding in financial reporting / financial control within a multi-entity environment
* Good technical accounting knowledge (IFRS)
* Experience working in fast-paced, evolving businesses
* Comfortable working across multiple stakeholders and managing competing priorities
* A mindset geared towards improving processes, controls, and ways of working
* Someone who wants to step into a role where they can shape and evolve the function, not just maintain it
If you’re looking for a role where you can move beyond pure reporting and play a key part in building a scalable, well-controlled finance function in a growing business this is worth a conversation.
