Job description

• Opportunity to work for a highly acquisitive business

If you're ready to leave practice and want to see where the numbers go once the audit is signed off, this is a role worth reading to the end.

Campbell Grove Talent is working with a highly acquisitive group in York who are looking for a Group Reporting Manager. Every acquisition means new entities, new complexity and new puzzles to solve. You'll be right in the middle of it, building the acquisition accounting entries and bringing each new business into the fold.

What you'll be doing

• Pulling the group's numbers together every month across the UK, Europe and the wider group
• Being the person people go to when an accounting question needs a proper answer, and keeping everyone ahead of changing standards
• Playing a hands-on part in year-end, from the statutory accounts through to the Group audit
• Teaming up with finance colleagues in different countries to get balance sheets in better shape
• Making sure the right people have the right information at the right time, so decisions are made with confidence
• Spotting clunky processes, fixing them and passing on what works
• Making sure each newly acquired business slots neatly into the group's numbers
• Managing a small team of part-qualified accountants

What makes it different:

It's an autonomous culture with a large finance team, so there's real depth to learn from and you won't be tucked away in a corner. You'll get genuine exposure to senior stakeholders and the decisions that shape the group. You'll also report to a hiring manager who's supportive, switched on and genuinely keen to develop their people.

Progression here isn't a vague promise. The business is constantly evolving, and there's plenty of room to grow with it.

What we're looking for:

• Qualified ACA/ACCA (or equivalent), trained in practice
• Hands-on experience with IFRS reporting (acquisition accounting experience is a huge advantage, but not essential)
• A clear communicator who stays calm under pressure and handles confidential information with discretion
• Someone approachable, tactful and up for a challenge
