Role Summary I’m currently supporting a growing business in the East Lancashire area who are looking to appoint a Technical Accounting Manager to join their finance function on a permanent basis. This role would suit someone from a project related industry or someone that has experience of auditing construction related businesses. This role is essentially focused on improving the accuracy, structure, and scalability of the company’s finance function as the business continues to grow. The person coming into the role will act as the technical finance expert for the business, making sure the numbers are correct, controls are robust, and finance processes are running efficiently.
