Finance Project Manager | Leeds | Hybrid | £60,000-£70,000
This business is going through massive transformation, transforming from spreadsheets, manual consolidations and full month-end close to leverage systems, automate, consolidate and make finance at the forefront of the business.
It’s a finance function doing its best, but nowhere near where it needs to be, however, fast forward 12 months and you’ll have played a key part in transforming it.
At the same time?
- Multiple acquisitions completed
- Global expansion unlocked
- And a clear expectation: this needed to level up fast
So that’s exactly what they’re doing.
New systems, new structure, future M&A and a finance function being rebuilt to keep up with it all. Now they need someone who can step into the middle of that and make a difference.
This isn’t a typical Project Finance Manager role
It’s not neat.
It’s not fully defined.
And it’s definitely not passive.
It’s for someone who can:
- Pick things up quickly
- Handle ambiguity without slowing down
- And contribute across multiple moving parts without needing constant direction
What you’ll be stepping into
You’ll work across a mix of project, strategic, and core finance work.
That includes:
- Supporting investor reporting and building presentations that actually stand up to scrutiny
- Getting pulled into M&A and financial due diligence as activity ramps back up
- Helping design and improve processes in a business that’s actively evolving
- Playing a role in a finance transformation project
- Supporting ESG reporting and governance frameworks
- Picking up ad hoc work that doesn’t come with a playbook
There is BAU, but even that is being rebuilt. The goal is simple: take month-end from a full month… to under a week.
The bigger picture
This is a business with real momentum.
They’ve:
- Grown quickly through acquisition
- Been through a period of remediation
- And are preparing to re-enter the M&A cycle later this year
There’s also a future transaction event on the horizon, whether that’s further investment or exit. So, this role won’t sit on the sidelines.
What they need from you
ACA is non-negotiable. Beyond that, it’s about how you operate.
You’ll likely come from:
- Practice
- Corporate finance
- Or a role where you’ve had exposure to transactions or projects
But more importantly, you:
- Don’t wait to be told what to do
- Are comfortable working without perfect structure
- Can move between detail and big-picture thinking
- Want a role that’s broader than “just accounting”
What this turns into
This isn’t a fixed role. The business is growing, The team will evolve.
And this position is being hired with that in mind. If you’re good, you’ll grow with it.
