About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-growth, PE-backed services group at a transformative stage of its journey. Based in the heart of Manchester City Centre, you’ll step into a business that is scaling rapidly, modernising its finance capability, and investing heavily in talent.
As Senior Management Accountant, you’ll work directly with a recently appointed and highly regarded Finance Director, gaining exceptional mentorship and exposure to commercial, operational, and investor-led finance. This role is perfect for someone who is hungry to develop, keen to take ownership, and excited by the pace and opportunity that comes with a private equity environment.
You will play a pivotal role in the month‑end cycle, reporting, and financial control environment, while also contributing to strategic insight through board reporting, lock‑up analysis, and continuous improvement. It’s a hands‑on, high‑impact position where your work will directly influence performance, decision‑making, and value creation.

- Update P&L views post month‑end close, including LTM and YTD reporting.
- Prepare the first draft of the monthly Board Report, supporting FD review and refinement.
- Lead calculation, reporting, and visualisation of Lock‑Up metrics across the business.
- Ensure timesheet bookings and billing are accurate and up to date.
- Support the Finance Director with day‑to‑day finance and project‑based activities.
Tasks to Support the Above Responsibilities (Non‑Exhaustive)
- Maintain and update all balance sheet files, including reconciliation checks.
- Manage and update fixed asset registers.
- Own and maintain all prepayment and accrual schedules, including holiday pay accruals.
- Review cashbook movements to identify required journal postings.
- Update master staff file used for workforce planning and forecasting.
- Refresh the LTM EBITDA file post month‑end postings.
- Maintain and update profit files, including P&L by office.
- Update aged debt and aged WIP working papers, investigating and clearing aged balances.
- Maintain accurate WIP balances and associated reporting.
- Produce and update Lock‑Up visual reporting.
- Ensure all timesheets are booked by WD1 and all fees submitted by WD2.
Other Responsibilities
- Support with credit control reporting and debtor reviews.
- Provide assistance with acquisition integrations, including alignment of reporting.
- Work collaboratively with the wider Finance Team, supporting a strong team culture.
- Process and approve bank payments in line with internal controls.
