Group Accountant

PE-Backed Tech Business | Manchester City Centre | £45,000 - £55,000 + Benefits

Newly Qualified | Hands-On Role

Are you a newly qualified accountant with a background in audit from a smaller practice? Are you looking to make your first move into industry with a high-growth, private equity-backed tech business? This could be the perfect opportunity.

We’re working with an innovative and forward-thinking tech company based in Manchester City Centre. Backed by private equity and on a steep growth trajectory, the business has a dynamic, modern culture and a clear vision for the future. The finance team is lean, collaborative, and highly engaged with the wider business – this is not a back-office role.

The Opportunity

As Group Accountant, you’ll take on a varied and hands-on role, working closely with the Financial Controller and wider business teams. You’ll play a key part in delivering accurate financial information, improving processes, and acting as a true business partner across departments.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparation of group consolidated accounts and management reporting
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
• Partnering with department heads to provide financial insight and support decision-making
• Contributing to the development of internal controls and process improvements
• Liaising with auditors and supporting year-end processes
• Ad hoc project work related to growth, acquisitions and system improvements

What We’re Looking For

• Newly qualified ACA / ACCA (or equivalent)
• Audit experience from a smaller or mid-tier firm, ideally with hands-on exposure to SME clients
• Strong technical skills, with a proactive and commercially-minded approach
• Excellent communication skills and an interest in working closely with non-finance stakeholders
• Ambition to grow with a business going through change and expansion

Why Join?

• A high-growth, PE-backed environment with significant career progression potential
• A business that values innovation, initiative, and collaboration
• City centre offices with hybrid working
• A genuine opportunity to influence the way finance supports a modern, tech-driven business

If you're a newly qualified accountant looking for your first industry move – and you want more than just a reporting role – this could be your ideal next step.
