Finance Manager

We’re looking for a technically strong Finance Manager to join our Finance team in London. Reporting to our Financial Controller, this is a broad, global accounting role with a meaningful focus on revenue. 

Milltown Partners

Our clients operate at the frontiers of innovation – we advise technology companies driving change, global investors funding the future, the giants of sport and entertainment, and influential individuals on the communications and policy challenges that define their reputations. Our work spans corporate and financial communications, policy and public affairs to engage regulators and policymakers, policy communications and leadership communications. We underpin the full breadth of our capabilities with research-driven insights and campaigns. We're also pioneering AI-enhanced advisory work for both our clients and internal innovation, using technology to unlock insights from data at unprecedented scale and speed.

The role 

You’ll own core accounting responsibilities while also taking charge of the revenue process for our growing global business. This is a hands-on role requiring technical rigour and the confidence to work independently across a multi-entity, multi-currency environment. Whether you’re moving into industry from audit or come with industry experience and strong revenue knowledge, we’d like to hear from you.

What you'll do

• Own global revenue recognition: ensure all client revenue is correctly booked, deferred, and accrued in line with accounting standards

• Manage billing milestones, reconcile third-party cost recharges and ensure billing and sales orders in NetSuite are consistent with revenue schedules

• Own global balance sheet reconciliations and review the Management Accountant’s work – ensuring accuracy across expense allocations, GL coding, and journal postings within NetSuite

• Review monthly budget versus actuals, flag material variances, and support ad hoc financial analysis as required

• Act as primary point of contact for auditors throughout the annual audit process, managing all audit working papers across entities

• Review the work of the wider finance team and take ownership of the month-end close schedule, ensuring deliverables are completed accurately and on time

• Identify process improvements across accounting and revenue workflows; maintain finance policies and controls

• Support ad hoc finance projects and be the London-based point of contact for the wider Finance team
