🚀 Group Management Accountant | PE-Backed Recruitment Group
📍 Central London (4 days in office, 1 from home)
💼 Full-time | Permanent | Start: Q1 2026
I’m currently supporting a backed recruitment group as they continue to expand across multiple specialist brands — and they’re looking to hire a Management Accountant to strengthen their finance function and provide commercial support across the group.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to step up from a management accountant role and work closer to the numbers that drive strategic decisions.
The Role
You’ll be joining a high-performing, fast-paced finance team reporting into an experienced Group Financial Controller. The role sits at group level, supporting the holding company while partnering with MDs across several brands.
It’s a genuinely hands-on position, giving exposure to everything from day-to-day management accounting through to board reporting and audit preparation.
Key responsibilities include:
* Preparing monthly management accounts and board packs to tight deadlines (day 6 close, board packs by day 12).
* Supporting group consolidation, audit readiness and budgeting cycles.
* Liaising with MDs across brands — providing insight, challenge, and financial support.
* Managing intercompany reconciliations, accruals, and prepayments.
* Supporting system improvements and automation (Xero + Bullhorn CRM).
* Rolling your sleeves up across banking, invoicing and process improvement when needed.
What They’re Looking For
* Qualified, accountant from practice with industry experience.
* Confident, commercially minded, and able to hold your own in conversations with MDs and senior stakeholders..
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
* Solid systems experience (Xero ideal) and advanced Excel skills.
Details
* 🏢 4–5 days per week in the Central London office
* 🕘 9am–6pm core hours
* 📅 Ideally starting Q1 2026, but possibility to start sooner
If you’re a hands-on Management Accountant looking to take on a group-level role in a fast-growing, PE-backed business — I’d love to hear from you.
