Hybrid/Remote – Flexible Location


Our client, Equity Finance Partners, is a well-funded, private equity-backed consolidator of high-quality businesses, with ambitions to grow to £100m+ turnover.

Reporting to the Group CFO, this is an exciting opportunity for the right person to join an ambitious, fast-growing professional services group.

  • Build financial controls and processes and implementation of improved financial systems and processes
  • Responsibility for Group reporting, including Monthly Board packs and developing the Group reporting packs and consolidations
  • Production of annual Consolidated Financial Statements, liaising closely with the auditors
  • Group Cashflow forecasting – managing the group budgeting and forecasting
  • Responsibility for Tax returns (VAT, CT and MTD) though supported from hub and outsourced parties
  • Ensuring timely and accurate production of monthly Management Accounts and Financial KPI's
  • Providing analysis of P&L identifying cost reduction opportunities
  • Improving reporting timelines to meet the requirements of the Private Equity investors of weekly/monthly MI as required
  • Managing covenant and cashflow reporting
  • Regulatory reporting – some ICAEW, FCA and SRA regulation
  • Responsibility for M&A transaction accounting and where required, support for acquisitions to include Due Diligence, risk identification, integration planning and implementation through to financial control post deal
  • Supporting the exit longer term, including data room, due diligence


The Ideal Candidate:

  • You will be a fully qualified accountant, ideally with multi-site experience
  • Experience of working within a Private Equity backed organisation is key
  • Prior experience in the business or professional services preferable
  • Ability to build a 'first in class' finance function – building developing the team and improving the quality and timeliness of financial reporting
  • Desire to implement new financial systems and processes
  • Personal qualities must include enthusiasm, adaptability, tenacity, self-starter and an absolute commitment to achieve objectives and meet deadlines in a demanding environment


We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace by ensuring a diverse pool of talent, eliminating unlawful discrimination and recruiting the best person for each role.
