We are looking for a Temporary Finance Manager with solid grounding and proven hands-on experience across transactional finance, who's ready to take real ownership in a fast-scaling business. You'll sit at the heart of the finance function, ensuring their books are accurately reconciled, and commercially useful as they expand across multiple entities. This is a hands-on role where you'll own core accounting processes end-to-end - from ledger integrity and reconciliations to management reporting and compliance.
You'll own the integrity of their financial data - improving systems and controls to ensure senior leadership can operate with confidence and clarity.
Key Responsibilities:
Be responsible for the preparation of monthly management accounts, including P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reporting.
Manage month-end close, reconciliations (bank, expenses, accruals/prepayments), and financial controls.
Monitor and track expenses and departmental budgets, flagging variances and supporting cost control.
Work closely with external accountants, auditors and vendors to ensure compliance and smooth reporting cycles
Help optimise and improve financial systems, processes and reporting tools as we scale (including automation where possible).
Conduct ad-hoc financial analysis to support commercial decisions and operational planning.
Own finance-related aspects of employee onboarding and offboarding (payroll, systems access, documentation).
Who You Are:
Full or part qualified - ACCA, CIMA, or ACA
3-5+ years' experience in finance, accounting, or a management accounting role.
Strong grounding in accounting fundamentals - comfortable reconciling ledgers, reviewing balance sheets, and preparing management accounts
Highly detail-oriented, with the discipline to manage high-volume transactional work accurately.
Confident working across multiple entities and reconciling complex accounts.
Strong Excel or Google Sheets capability, with hands-on experience using Xero in a multi-entity environment.
Comfortable in a fast-paced, scaling environment where processes are evolving.
High ownership mindset - you don't just process numbers, you ensure they're right
Experience with regulated environments (e.g., SRA/solicitor account rules) is a bonus but not essential.
