Group Finance Manager

A private equity backed wealth management group is strengthening its finance team under a newly appointed CFO. This role sits at the heart of the group's financial and regulatory reporting, with a clear path to Financial Controller.

You will work alongside the Financial Controller, take ownership of regulatory reporting, and build the knowledge and relationships to step up into the Financial Controller role within the next year or two. The CFO is investing in the team and in better systems, so this is a chance to make the reporting process your own and be developed for the next level, in a finance function that is growing rather than standing still.

London based, hybrid working, with a salary of £85,000 to £100,000 plus benefits.
