Business Manager - Senior Finance, Private Equity & PE Backed Business
Our client is a high-growth, private equity-backed environmental services platform, built on a clear purpose: to enhance the well being of the communities it serves through sustainable, people-focused, and technology-enabled solutions.
With ambitious plans to scale organically and through strategic acquisitions, the business is on track to become a leading international operator in its field. Backed by a globally recognised investment group, it combines operational excellence with a commitment to innovation, environmental responsibility, and outstanding customer service.
This is a high-impact leadership role for an experienced Finance Director, ideally with prior exposure to PE-backed environments and buy-and-build strategies. The UK FD will act as a strategic partner to the Group CFO, taking full ownership of the UK finance function and supporting the wider business through its next phase of growth.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead the preparation of UK statutory and consolidated financial statements, ensuring compliance, accuracy, and timeliness.
* Drive financial governance, internal controls, and regulatory compliance across UK operations.
* Oversee financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting.
* Manage UK banking relationships, audit processes, and treasury operations.
* Support M&A activity including financial due diligence, integration planning, and post-deal integration.
* Collaborate with Group and local teams to implement and enhance management information systems and reporting tools.
* Partner with operational leaders, HR, and M&A teams to align financial strategy with business objectives.
* Provide commercial insight to support strategic decision-making, investment appraisals, and growth initiatives.
* Develop and lead a high-performing UK finance team with a focus on continuous improvement.
Candidate Profile:
* Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with proven experience in senior finance leadership roles.
* Experience in a multi-site, service-led, or field-based operational model is preferred.
* Track record of working within PE-backed businesses or fast-growth environments.
* Strong understanding of financial control, commercial finance, and strategic planning.
* Comfortable navigating complex, fast-paced, and evolving business environments.
* Proactive, hands-on, and collaborative leadership style.
* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels.
Why Join?
* Be part of an ambitious, purpose-led organisation with a clear strategy and strong backing.
* Play a central role in a dynamic growth journey, both organically and via acquisitions.
* Join a values-driven leadership team committed to innovation, sustainability, and excellence.
* Opportunity to make a tangible impact on business performance, culture, and the communities served.
