Qualified Accountant job near Chester

Hays Senior Finance are recruiting a Finance Manager to take ownership of the financial accounting and reporting function for a growing client. This is a pivotal role that will evolve into a Financial Controller position within two years, offering a clear and structured progression path. This successful SME was acquired by a Listed business a few years ago. The company will always retain its brand and individuality but now has greater reporting in order to meet Group requirements.

You’ll be responsible for:
  • Leading the month-end close and statutory reporting processes for multiple UK entities
  • Ensuring compliance with group accounting policies and external regulations
  • Supporting the audit process and liaising with external auditors
  • Preparing balance sheet reconciliations and managing cash flow forecasting
  • Working closely with the wider finance and operational teams to drive process improvements
About You:
  • ACA/ACCA qualified (or equivalent), ideally trained in an accountancy practice
  • Experience in industry post-practice, with technical accounting knowledge
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
  • Ambitious, detail-oriented, and eager to step into a broader leadership role
Why Join?
  • Be part of a high-performing finance team with direct exposure to senior leadership
  • Join a business with a strong track record of internal promotion and development
  • Enjoy a hybrid working model and a supportive, collaborative culture
  • Gain experience in a Listed environment while working in a more agile, entrepreneurial setting


This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with post-qualified experience in Practice making a first move or someone with existing experience in Industry. The role will predominantly be office based with some home working.
