Head of Financial Reporting

Current Vacancies

Job Description

Job Type: Full Time
Job Location: Leeds
Job Salary: £75000 - £85000

Ready to lead financial reporting that actually matters?

We’re looking for a qualified accountant who gets excited about turning numbers into stories that drive business decisions. This isn’t your typical “prepare month-end reports and hope for the best” role – you’ll be the person senior leaders turn to when they need to understand what’s really happening with the business.

What you’ll be doing

Lead a specialist team of 4 analysts across revenue, gross profit, and expenses, delivering the company’s monthly and annual reporting with insights that drive better decisions.

Your key responsibilities:

  • Own month-end close and delivery of management accounts to tight deadlines
  • Ensure 100% reconciliation of key P&L and balance sheet accounts
  • Oversee revenue, gross profit, and expense analysis – identifying variances and key drivers
  • Translate complex financial data into clear, actionable commentary for senior stakeholders
  • Maintain audit-ready controls and lead the annual audit process
  • Partner with external tax advisors and ensure compliance (UK GAAP & IFRS)
  • Collaborate with FP&A and Commercial Finance teams to align actuals with forecasts
  • Drive process improvements and automation initiatives with IT teams

What we’re looking for

Must-haves:

  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with strong post-qualification experience
  • Multi-entity financial reporting and team leadership experience
  • Excellent communication skills with non-finance stakeholders
  • Experience collaborating with FP&A and commercial finance teams

Nice-to-haves:

  • Tech, telecoms, or managed services sector experience
  • Tax compliance and external advisor management
  • Finance transformation or automation project involvement
  • Investor reporting or private equity background

If you’re someone who wants to be more than just a number-cruncher – if you want to be the person who helps a growing business understand its performance and make smarter decisions – this could be perfect
