Acquisitions Accountant

🌟 Make Your First Move Count: Acquisitions Accountant Opportunity 🌟

Are you currently in practice and looking to make your first move into industry? Here’s your chance to step into a commercially focused, hands-on finance role with real impact from day one.

We're looking for an ambitious and analytically minded Acquisitions Accountant to join our dynamic Acquisitions Team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a background in audit or accounts preparation to break into a fast-paced, strategic finance environment.

In this role, you'll work alongside our Senior Acquisitions Accountant and the wider Finance Team, getting involved in every stage of the acquisition lifecycle—from due diligence and financial modelling to post-deal integration and helping to wind down acquired businesses efficiently.

What You’ll Do:

• Dive into financial analysis and due diligence to evaluate acquisition targets.
• Assist with deal structuring, acquisition pricing, and tracking value from offer to completion.
• Support the smooth integration of new businesses into our Group, including finance processes and reporting.
• Help prepare month-end and year-end accounts for acquired entities, and work with external accountants.
• Collaborate with teams across the business to deliver accurate, timely reporting and insight.
• Drive efficiency by helping wind down acquired subsidiaries to dormancy.

Why This Role?

• Excellent exposure to high-level decision-making and M&A strategy.
• Great step out of practice into a varied, commercially focused role.
• Work with senior finance leaders and cross-functional teams.
• Be part of a fast-growing, acquisition-focused business where your input truly matters.
• Gain hands-on experience in financial modelling, reporting systems (e.g. Adaptive), and corporate integration.

If you’re ACA/ACCA qualified with a solid grounding in financial reporting, accounts prep, or audit—and you’re ready to get stuck into real-world business challenges—this could be the ideal launchpad for your career in industry.
