SenIor Financial Reporting Manager

I'm working with a large, listed business looking for a Financial Reporting Senior Manager to lead their Financial Reporting and General Ledger team. It's a high-visibility role with real technical depth - you'll own Group and subsidiary financial statements, manage the external audit relationship, and partner closely with senior stakeholders, including Exco members and directors. There's also a genuine opportunity to develop an already high-calibre team, helping individuals build on their skills and progress. This is a strong next step for someone looking to combine technical leadership with people development, in a business offering visibility and career progression.
