Horizon Parking Ltd, part of the Horizon Group, is a leading UK parking management company, operating across 2,500+ car parks nationwide.
At Horizon, our people are our greatest asset, and we strive to be an Employer of Choice. Our values are built on:
Pride in everything we do
Aspiring to make a difference
Honesty & integrity in our operations
Growth through people, innovation & ideas
As our Group continues to expand, so does the complexity of financial reporting, intercompany transactions, and regulatory compliance.

AEJ Management Ltd – Specialists in soft FM services, including cleaning & security.
Gleneagles Project Services Ltd – Experts in commercial project management.
PW Architectural Consultants Ltd – Specialists in architectural design.
With these businesses working together, we are experiencing rapid growth and increased financial complexity, requiring a dedicated Group Financial Accountant to oversee consolidated reporting, intercompany transactions, and financial compliance across all entities.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing, multi-entity organisation, where you will play a critical role in delivering accurate financial insights to senior management and the Board, directly supporting strategic decision-making at the highest level.
Key Responsibilities- Prepare and manage consolidated financial statements for the Group.
- Ensure compliance with UK GAAP and other relevant accounting regulations.

- Consolidate financial results, ensuring intercompany transactions are properly managed.
- Support and liaise with external auditors during audits.

- Conduct variance analysis between actuals and forecasts to provide insights for senior leadership.
Treasury & Cash Management
- Oversee cash flow forecasting and liquidity management for the Group.
- Manage intercompany management charges to ensure fair and accurate allocation of Group costs.
Stakeholder Communication & Board Reporting

- Ensure compliance with lender requirements, including MI pack preparation and covenant reporting.
- Collaborate with subsidiary finance leads to align financial strategies.
Systems & Process Improvement
- Drive financial systems optimisation and reporting enhancements.
- Identify process improvement opportunities in financial consolidation and reporting.
