This role is based at our Woking Office but may require some travel into London. The UK FC is a senior finance leader who knows what "great" looks like in financial control - and has the drive and experience to build it. This is not a steady-state role. ATG has recently gone live with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365), and the UK FC will be at the centre of a major finance transformation programme: embedding the platform, redesigning processes, and materially reducing the time and effort required to close the month-end. You will need to onboard quickly in a complex environment, earn trust fast, and lead a team through a period of genuine operational and cultural change. Key responsibilities Financial Reporting & Control Oversee the preparation of monthly and annual financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Own the month-end close process end-to-end: set the timetable, hold the team to it, and drive a continuous reduction in close duration through process discipline and D365 capability. Preparation of annual statutory accounts. Own the balance sheet review process, ensuring all accounts are reconciled and substantiated monthly. Coordinate statutory audit processes, acting as primary point of contact for external auditors. Assist the Commercial Finance team in balance sheet budgeting and variance analysis. Build strong relationships with external parties including auditors, tax advisers, banks, and regulatory bodies. Finance Transformation Lead post-implementation Work closely with the Finance Transformation Lead to optimise Microsoft Dynamics 365, ensuring ATG realises the full value of the platform - including automated workflows, integrated reporting, and a material reduction in manual processing. Champion adoption of automated processing to enhance the finance team's capacity for value-added work. Define and embed data quality and governance standards, establishing D365 as the single source of truth for financial data across the organisation. Lead cultural and capability change within the finance team, fostering a continuous improvement mindset and building digital literacy. Team Leadership & Development Lead, coach, and develop a finance team navigating significant change - providing clarity, stability and support through the transformation programme while maintaining high performance and clear objectives aligned to business priorities. Foster a culture of ownership, continuous learning, and operational excellence within the finance function. Governance, Risk &Compliance Maintain and continuously enhance the internal control framework, identifying and remediating control deficiencies. Ensure adherence to all relevant regulatory and legislative requirements. Support the Audit & Risk Committee with relevant reporting and governance activities. If you are able to demonstrate many of the essential criteria, we encourage you to apply, and welcome transferable skills from other industries or backgrounds. Your skills, qualities, and experience Essential Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with significant post-qualification experience. Demonstrable track record in a senior financial control or FC role within a large, complex, multi-entity organisation - with a clear sense of what best-in-class financial control looks like and the ability to build it. Strong IFRS technical accounting knowledge. Proven track record leading and developing finance teams through periods of change - system implementations, transformation programmes, or significant process redesign. Hands-on experience with at least one major ERP platform (e.g. SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics). Experience of UK statutory accounts preparation. A proven track record of reducing month-end close timelines and delivering measurable process efficiencies. The ability to onboard quickly in a complex, multi-entity environment and operate at pace from the outset. Desirable Background in a high-growth, private equity-backed or listed environment. Exposure to RPA tools (e.g. UiPath, Power Automate) and data visualisation platforms (e.g. Power BI, Tableau). Proven involvement in a significant Finance Transformation programme including process redesign/automation and change management.
