Record to Report ( RTR ) Lead
Location: Leicester (Hybrid – aligned to team activity/month-end)
About the Company
The business is a fast-growing, private equity-backed group operating across a highly technical, global services sector. Since its inception, the business has scaled rapidly to significant turnover while maintaining an agile, low-bureaucracy culture.
The organisation combines the stability of a large group with the pace and flexibility of a scaling business, offering a dynamic environment where finance plays a key role in driving performance and transformation.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an experienced and hands-on RTR Lead to take ownership of the Record-to-Report cycle across the Group. This is a high-impact leadership role, combining technical accounting expertise with process optimisation and system improvement.
You’ll play a key role in continuing the transformation of the finance function, building on recent success in reducing the month-end close cycle from c.10 days to 5 days, with a focus on further optimisation and upstream problem-solving.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Lead and optimise the month-end close process, actively contributing where needed
* Own General Ledger integrity, ensuring accurate and timely balance sheet reconciliations
* Manage group consolidation and intercompany processes across a multi-entity structure
* Oversee fixed assets, depreciation, and technical accounting areas (e.g. IFRS, revenue recognition)
* Act as the primary contact for external audit, ensuring audit readiness and compliance
* Drive process improvement and automation within NetSuite, reducing manual workarounds
* Identify and resolve root causes of reporting delays, discrepancies, and inefficiencies
* Partner with senior stakeholders and lead, coach and develop the RTR team
What Success Looks Like
* Continued reduction and optimisation of the financial close cycle
* Stronger accuracy, controls, and audit readiness
* Increased automation and reduced manual intervention
* Clear visibility of issues, bottlenecks, and root causes
* A high-performing, engaged RTR team
About You
Essential:
* Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
* Strong experience leading RTR / GL in multi-entity environments
* Proven track record of improving financial close processes
* Hands-on ERP experience (NetSuite highly desirable)
* Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills
* A pragmatic, detail-oriented and hands-on approach
Desirable:
* Deep NetSuite expertise (GL, Fixed Assets, Consolidation)
* Experience in shared services or PE-backed environments
* Ability to balance technical accounting with transformation and change
Why Join?
* Lead and shape a growing RTR function in a scaling business
* Be part of a high-impact finance transformation programme
* Gain exposure to senior leadership and group-level finance
* Join a fast-growing, PE-backed organisation with ambitious plans
The Challenge
This role offers the opportunity to tackle real complexity, from managing a decentralised, multi-entity structure to driving consistency, improving upstream processes, and leveraging NetSuite to its full potential.
If you’re a technically strong, hands-on finance leader who thrives on improving processes and driving change, we’d love to hear from you.
