Finance manager in services

We're working with a private equity-backed services business in Barcelona, part of a wider group of companies that work closely together across finance, operations and reporting. They're looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to own the finance function for the Barcelona entity, with a clear path to broaden the remit across other businesses in the group over time. Reporting to the Finance Director and working closely with group finance leadership, this is a chance to take real ownership of a finance function, improve how it runs, and grow your role as the group develops.

• Own day-to-day finance operations: invoicing, accounts payable, collections, bank payments, reconciliations, expenses and intercompany
• Run month-end close and monthly reporting, and maintain cashflow forecasting, reporting performance into group finance
• Manage and improve revenue recognition, including project accounting against budget, plus fixed and intangible assets
• Own the finance systems stack (Xero-based) and drive automation, integrations and process improvement
• Manage external payroll and tax advisors, including Spanish tax reporting and compliance
• Work alongside finance colleagues across the group on cashflow reporting, shared initiatives and improvement projects, with scope to take on responsibility for other group entities as the role grows

• 3 to 6 years' finance experience, ideally including time in a small or growing business
• Strong accounting fundamentals and solid month-end and reporting experience
• Hands-on with Xero or similar, and comfortable improving systems and processes
• Good working knowledge of the Spanish tax environment
• Fluent English and Spanish
• Proactive, independent and comfortable managing multiple priorities
• Будет плюсом: Practice or audit background is a plus

• Work directly with the Finance Director, Managing Director and founder
• Freedom to shape and build the finance function rather than inherit a fixed process
• Exposure to a PE-backed group and a collaborative finance team across several businesses
• A role designed to grow, with additional entities and responsibilities to follow
