Acquisitions Finance Manager - Remote - £70,000 to £80,000

Although tis role is offered on a remote basis, the team is based in Worthing, BN11 - For the first month or so you would be expected on site to get up to speed with systems, processes and so on.

After this time the role will involve travel across the UK to visit possible acquisition sites.

Replacing the existing Acquisitions Finance Manager due to promotion in this PE backed £300m turnover property services group, you'll ideally be Audit trained in practice and have some M&A experience from the "buying side".

You'll be managing two fully qualified members of the team and reporting into the Assistant M&A Finance Director.

You'll be working on due diligence of acquisitions ranging in size from £500,000 through the multi millions, ensuring the team carries out the correct due diligence ensuring the numbers are correct.

You'll be at the forefront of vendor management, attending company sites that the group intends to acquire, working with the sellers in setting up their data house, building a relationship of trust between yourself and the current business owners, a very interesting job!

We will consider individuals with experience in industry who's skill sets align but also people looking to make their first move out of practice, but realistically you'll need to be a "senior" with many years post qualified experience.
