Head of Management Accounting | Build, Improve, Then Broaden into FP&A

Head of Management Accounting

Central London | Hybrid - 2 days office | Performance Bonus up to 15% Quarterly

This is more than an opportunity to lead a management accounting team.

It's an opportunity to take ownership of a significant finance function within a £700m+ turnover, private equity-backed international professional services group - review how it operates, improve it, and potentially use the role as a platform into FP&A leadership.

The business operates through 26 brands across 24 global locations and is headquartered in Central London.

The opportunity

Reporting directly to an ambitious and highly regarded Group Financial Controller, you'll inherit a team of 14 Management Accountants, predominantly working remotely overseas.

Your initial mandate is straightforward:

Understand the management accounting function. Challenge it. Strengthen it. Make it better.

You'll review existing processes, reporting and controls to ensure the team is producing accurate, timely and genuinely useful financial information.

This isn't simply about getting the numbers out.

The business wants someone who can bring greater rigour to the numbers while improving the quality of insight behind them - helping finance engage more effectively with stakeholders across a complex, international organisation.

Once established, the opportunity becomes broader.

There is a clear expectation that the successful individual can develop beyond traditional management accounting, gaining increasing exposure to FP&A, commercial finance and forward-looking analysis.

What we're looking for

You'll already be an accomplished management accounting leader who combines strong technical accounting capability with credible people and stakeholder management skills.

Ideally, you will be:

ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualifiedPractice trained, with a strong technical foundationExperienced in leading a management accounting function or sizeable teamRigorous around accuracy, controls, reconciliations and reporting qualityComfortable reviewing existing processes and identifying opportunities for improvementAn effective business partner who can communicate financial information beyond the finance teamComfortable operating within a large, fast-moving and commercially ambitious organisation

You don't need to arrive with an FP&A leadership background. The opportunity to develop into that space is part of the attraction.

Why consider it?

There are plenty of Head of Management Accounting roles that offer responsibility for producing the numbers.

This one offers the opportunity to shape how those numbers are produced, improve what they tell the business and influence what the finance function becomes next.

Alongside a competitive base salary and extensive health and wellbeing benefits, there is an individual performance-related bonus paying up to 15% quarterly.

Hybrid working is well established, with typically just two days per week in the Central London office once you're fully embedded in the role.

The position is available due to a leaver, so someone available at relatively short notice would be welcomed. However, experience, capability and long-term fit take priority over availability.

If you're a technically strong finance leader who enjoys improving a function rather than simply inheriting one - and you'd like your next move to open the door to broader FP&A leadership - this is a conversation worth having.

To be considered for the role you must be eligible to work in the UK without restriction. This role is being advertised by Butler Rose (AGY) and managed by Dave Marchant [email protected]
