Job Description

Group Financial Accountant | Newcastle | Up to £55,000 DOE

Ever feel like your month-end routine could run on autopilot?

If you’re a qualified accountant itching to step into a sharper, more commercially-minded role, this Group Financial Accountant position could be your next big move.

Up to £55,000, hybrid working (2-3 days in the office), private healthcare, and a clear route to a Financial Controller role as the business keeps scaling. Oh, and you’ll be working for a PE-backed group with serious growth on the cards – multiple acquisitions already and more in the pipeline.

This isn’t a role where you’ll just tick boxes. You’ll sit right at the heart of group reporting – consolidations, statutory accounts, cashflow forecasting, supporting M&A activity, and liaising with auditors and advisors. You’ll have access to the full financial picture across the group, and you’ll work closely with a sharp and ambitious FD who’s been brought in to drive things forward.

You’ll need to be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with solid technical grounding – ideally from practice, or with experience in a similar group financial accountant or financial reporting role. If you’ve had exposure to group consolidations or worked with PE-backed businesses, even better.

In return, you’ll get variety, visibility and the kind of progression that only comes with a fast-moving, acquisitive environment. Your ideas will be listened to, and you won’t be stuck in a back-office role with no voice.

Private healthcare, enhanced pension, generous holidays and real flexibility to manage your week.
