MRK Associates is proud to be exclusively partnering with a highly regarded global business based in Watford, Hertfordshire, that partners with some of the world's most exciting brands. They're looking to hire a Finance Manager to join their expanding finance function on a permanent basis. This is a full-time, office-based role (5 days a week in Watford), so please only apply if you're able to commit to being on-site.
Due to the nature of the business, this role would best suit someone with a solid background in project accounting, ideally within the construction or manufacturing sectors. Reporting directly to the Finance Director, you'll take full ownership of the end-to-end financial management of multiple client projects, with values ranging from £100K to £6 million, both across the UK and internationally.
This is a busy and hands-on role, ideal for someone who thrives in a project-led environment, juggling multiple workstreams, and supporting senior leadership with accurate and insightful financial data.
The ideal candidate will be ACCA or CIMA qualified, part-qualified, or a strong QBE, with solid experience in a Finance Manager or Senior Project Accountant role. You'll have a track record of managing multiple live projects with overlapping deadlines, and a strong grasp of Excel is essential. Experience with multi-currency reporting is highly desirable, and while prior team management experience is preferred, it's not a dealbreaker, as you'll be overseeing a small transactional team, so some supervisory exposure would be beneficial.
Job Responsibilities:
* Produce full monthly management accounts.
* Track project spend and produce regular costing reports and forecasts.
* Manage multi-currency reporting (GBP, EUR, USD).
* Take full ownership of budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis across live projects.
* Oversee fixed asset registers, depreciation, and disposals.
* Produce and submit accurate VAT returns and ensure full VAT compliance.
* Prepare and post monthly journals, including accruals, prepayments, and project cost allocations.
* Lead the month-end close process, cash flow forecasting, and bank reconciliations.
* Supervise payroll, purchase & sales ledger and weekly payment runs.
* Act as a trusted finance partner to project managers and operational leads.
This is a great opportunity to join a growing business taking ownership of your responsibilities and being able to grow and learn in the process.
