Your new company
This is a rare chance to step into a high-impact Senior Management Accountant role within a fast-growing, PE-backed healthcare business at a genuinely exciting point in its journey. The business is scaling rapidly, making acquisitions and strengthening its finance function to support ambitious growth plans. This opportunity will take financial ownership of a newly acquired entity. If you're a commercially minded Management Accountant or newly qualified ACA looking for your first step into industry - with real responsibility, exposure, and influence - this role offers an outstanding platform.
Your new role

• Owning monthly management accounts for the newly acquired business, bringing insight and clear commentary
• Delivering meaningful variance analysis and highlighting trends that matter
• Supporting budgeting and forecasting as the business scales
• Partnering with operational stakeholders to improve commercial decision-making
• Playing a key role in post-acquisition finance integration
• Helping align systems, reporting and controls across the wider group
• Driving improvements to finance processes in a growing environment

• Strong grounding in management accounting
• A commercial mindset and confidence working with non-finance stakeholders
• A proactive approach and appetite to take ownership
• Strong Excel and systems capability
• Experience in, or interest in, M&A or integration work

Newly qualified ACA candidates with strong commercial awareness and a desire to move into a value-adding industry role are encouraged to apply. Ideally, you will have audited owner-managed businesses or PE- backed groups. Worked with multi-entity or growing organisations and seen management accounts, forecasting and KPI's - not just year-end statutory work.

What you'll get in return
Hybrid working, with regular time on site to build relationships and understand the business, plus flexibility as part of a modern finance team.

• Exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making
• Involvement in acquisition integration and business transformation
• A genuine opportunity to shape finance processes as the business scales
