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. Rather than focusing on routine month-end production, the emphasis is on building robust reporting, maintaining strong financial controls and acting as a technical point of reference within the wider finance function.

What will the Finance Reporting Manager role involve?

• Leading the preparation of statutory accounts for multiple group entities under UK GAAP (FRS 102)
• Managing group consolidations, intercompany balances and reconciliations
• Acting as the primary point of contact for external auditors and overseeing the audit process from start to finish
• 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
