You will oversee group consolidation, statutory reporting, treasury, tax, while providing financial insights to support strategic decision-making at the executive and Board levels. A key focus of the role will be to drive finance and enterprise transformation, including the standardisation of financial processes and reporting frameworks across the Group. You will lead the implementation and optimisation of consolidation and planning systems, and work with internal stakeholders to provide meaningful business insights. As the Group continues on its path of M&A, you will also be expected to conduct financial due diligence, purchase accounting and post-acquisition integration.

Experience in a high-growth environment within professional services, consulting or private equity-backed organisations, will be highly preferred. You are commercially astute, analytical and operationally hands-on, with strong systems capabilities and the ability to translate complex financial information into meaningful business insights. You are a strong collaborator and effective people leader.
