PE-Backed Growth Business – Erith or West Drayton with Hybrid
I’m delighted to be exclusively partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed group on the appointment of a Finance Manager—a pivotal role at the heart of an ambitious scaling journey.
With current revenues exceeding £50m and a clear trajectory to surpass £100m in the next two years, this is a business undergoing significant transformation. Driven by a combination of organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and a major UK rebrand, they offer a genuinely exciting opportunity for someone looking to step into a commercially impactful role.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a traditional Finance Manager position.
You’ll take ownership of the London region’s financial reporting while playing a key role at group level—working closely with senior leadership, influencing decision-making, and supporting M&A activity as the business expands.
It’s an ideal role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment and wants to be part of building something—bringing structure, insight, and commercial thinking as the group scales.
What You’ll Be Doing
Leading monthly financial reporting for the London region
Producing and reviewing group accounts, delivering clear variance analysis and insightful commentary to senior stakeholders and investors
Preparing board packs and presenting financial insights to leadership and private equity stakeholders
Supporting budgeting and forecasting processes in collaboration with operational teams
Playing an active role in acquisitions—supporting due diligence, onboarding, and integration into group reporting
Driving process improvements, controls, and efficiencies across the finance function
Supporting strategic initiatives, including business cases and cost optimisationWhat We’re Looking For
Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
Experience in a group or multi-entity environment—ideally within a fast-growing or acquisitive business
Strong technical and commercial finance skillset
Confident communicator, comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders
Proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to operate in a changing environment
Experience with ERP systems and strong Excel capability (Power BI or Sage exposure is advantageous)Why This Role Stands Out
True progression opportunity within a scaling, PE-backed group
Exposure to M&A activity and strategic decision-making
High visibility role with direct access to senior leadership
Investment in technology and digital transformation
A collaborative, forward-thinking culture that values autonomy and ideas
Alongside a competitive salary, the package includes private healthcare, generous annual leave, bonus potential, and flexible hybrid working.Interested?
If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real impact, gain exposure to growth strategy, and accelerate your career in a high-performing environment, I’d be keen to speak with you.
