Finance Reporting Manager

CMA Recruitment Group is working with a high-performing, PE-backed regional business based in Hampshire to recruit a Finance Reporting Manager on a long-term contract basis. This opportunity sits within a growing and acquisitive environment and offers genuine technical exposure across group reporting, statutory accounting and complex financial matters.

This role is well suited to a qualified accountant who enjoys ownership and depth.

• Supporting the month-end close, with a strong focus on balance sheet integrity and technical accuracy
• Producing and reviewing financial reporting for holding and financing entities
• Supporting cash flow forecasting and liquidity planning across the group

Suitable Candidate for the Finance Reporting Manager vacancy:

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA)
• Strong background within technical or group accounting roles
• Proven experience preparing statutory accounts and managing consolidations
• Confident applying UK GAAP and researching accounting standards independently
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, commercially focused environment
• Previous experience within a PE-backed, acquisitive or financial services business would be advantageous

Additional benefits and information:

• Salary dependent on experience
• 25 days'' annual leave plus bank holidays
• Life assurance and income protection
• Pension scheme
• Access to a flexible benefits platform
• Hybrid working with a Hampshire-based office and a balanced approach to time on-site
