Finance Manager
£ Competitive
Clapham, London

Are you looking to grow your career with one of the UK's fastest-growing neighbourhood restaurant groups?

At Megan's, we're expanding into exciting new neighbourhoods, and we're on the lookout for a talented Finance Manager to join our support team at a pivotal moment in our growth journey.

This is a rare opportunity to join a hospitality brand with momentum and heart. We're all about serving delicious food, bringing people together, and creating magical neighbourhood spaces. We now need a skilled finance leader to help us scale.

The Role

As Finance Manager, you'll lead the financial reporting functions at Megan's, working closely with our Finance Director and managing one team member, with potential for team growth. This role is ideal for a proactive self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

The role is based in our beautiful Clapham Old Town restaurant, where our support team is located.

This is a development role: we're seeking a Finance Manager with the ambition to step into a Financial Controller position within 12 months.

What You'll Be Doing

1. Leading the delivery of timely, accurate daily, weekly, and month-end reporting across all sites
2. Reviewing and resolving monthly balance sheet reconciliations
3. Producing insightful monthly management accounts, with variance analysis vs. budget, forecast & prior periods
4. Presenting financial results to operations and leadership teams, and partnering on performance strategies
5. Owning the external audit process and preparation of statutory accounts
6. Driving continuous improvement in financial systems, controls, and processes
7. Preparing cash flow forecasts and working capital analysis
8. Leading investment appraisals for new site openings and other capital projects
9. Supporting the annual budget cycle and quarterly reforecasts
10. Managing VAT returns and other statutory filings

What We're Looking For

1. ACA / ACCA / CA qualified, with 2+ years post-qualification experience
2. Hospitality experience is a bonus but not essential
3. Commercially sharp, detail-focused, and confident in communication
4. Strong technical accounting knowledge and reporting experience
5. Advanced Excel skills and data analysis abilities
6. A self-starter with initiative and a collaborative spirit

Why Megan's?

We're passionate about what we do. Megan's is a people-first business that invests in its team and celebrates personality, passion, and potential.

As our Finance Manager, you'll receive:

1. Competitive salary
2. 20% bonus linked to personal and business performance
3. Food provided while working in our restaurants
4. 50% off when dining with friends & family
5. A fast-track opportunity to become a Financial Controller in a growing brand

If you're excited by numbers, restaurants, and building something brilliant, we'd love to hear from you.

Come grow with us.

We live by our core values: Team Players, Results Driven, Adaptable, Grit.
