Financial Accountant

Cardiff (Hybrid) £55,000 - £58,000 + bonus + benefits

Robert Half are partnering with a private equity-backed business in Cardiff that are going through an exciting period of growth.

They are now looking to appoint a Senior Finance Manager to support the Head of Finance and help drive the function forward as the business continues its expansion.

This is a broad, group-level position with responsibility across reporting, controls, audit, and systems development. You will play a key role in ensuring the finance function operates effectively within a fast-paced, evolving environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading month-end and year-end close across group entities
• Preparation and review of group reporting and finance packs
• Producing technical accounting papers and supporting key decisions
• Leading the year-end audit process and accounts preparation
• Oversight and development of internal controls
• Driving ERP and systems improvements, with a focus on automation
• Supporting corporation tax processes
• Deputising for the Head of Finance when required
• Ad-hoc reporting and projects

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA)
• Strong technical financial accounting background
• Likely to be making a first or second move into industry (although wider backgrounds considered)
• Confident working independently in a dynamic environment
• Experience of finance systems (group accounting experience advantageous)

It's worth noting: This is a solid, technically focused finance role. It will suit someone who enjoys the fundamentals of financial accounting, but who can also thrive in a PE-backed, fast-moving business and adapt as the role evolves.

We're particularly keen to speak with individuals who are:

• Intelligent and solutions-focused
• Positive and proactive in their approach
• Adaptable and open to change (including evolving finance processes and technology)

• £55,000 - £58,000 salary
• Annual bonus
• 25 days holiday (rising to 27)
• Private healthcare
• Pension & wellbeing programme
• Hybrid working (typically 2 days in the office)

• Initial Teams call (informal two-way discussion)
• Followed by an in-person competency-based interview

If you're looking for a role where you can build strong technical experience while gaining exposure in a growing, PE-backed business, we'd be keen to speak.
