M&A Manager | £60,000 - £80,000 | Chorley | Private Equity Backed Services Business | Multiple Internal Progression Paths

Axon Moore has partnered with a newly private equity backed business in Chorley to strengthen their finance team as they start an acquisition trail.

Their CFO is looking for a strong candidate who can work in a unique finance role that focuses on integrating new acquisitions and the holistic improvement of their finance function. This will involve:

1. Being part of a Senior Management Team that will manage new acquisitions
2. Assist the target acquisition in preparatory work before the business goes through FDD
3. Establish a set of accounts for the acquisition and build a financial forecast that can be used by C-Suite
4. Manage the onboarding process of new businesses integrating them into the wider business
5. Exploring synergies and opportunities between businesses and driving these forwards with operational teams
6. Working with other finance members to pursue 'best practice' and continuously improve group processes and controls
7. Provide new reports into specific areas of the new business that are of interest to investors and C-Suite
8. Undergo new projects and initiatives as directed by the CFO

For this role, candidates must be:

1. Fully qualified (open to ACCA / CIMA / ACA)
2. Strong interpersonal skills (this role will work across departments and will be expected to lead in different contexts)
3. Have a strong technical background but have the commercial acumen to step outside of a BAU role and pursue value-adding activity
4. Strong personality. This business has a lot of ambitious individuals across their business. They're looking for a collaborative, mature and driven individual who can help level up their team.
