Financial Directors

(General)

We are always interested in speaking with Financial Directors who may be prepared to consider alternative career opportunities. Manning Solutions is often not handling any specific assignments, but given our 18+ years’ experience we know that there is always an ongoing requirement within leasing. We are happy to discuss the market in general with a view to establishing precisely the type of responsibilities you would prefer to consider in your next role. We fully appreciate that your skills can be easily transferable into many differing posts - some with considerable strategic importance to the business and others providing a more traditional major financial reporting role. Whatever your interest, we can provide informed advice on salaries, growing sectors and the market as a whole. Importantly, we can maintain an awareness of your precise preferences for the time when that ideal opportunity does arise. Confidentiality, as always, is assured.

We are regularly handling assignments for lessors seeking qualified (ACA or ACCA) accountants to undertake various important accounting roles. Requirements often come about following restructure and growth, and are likely to involve the preparation and monitoring of management information. Many are pan-European positions and applicants will be expected to take full responsibility for group statutory reporting. In such cases you will need to be aware of differing reporting and tax structures throughout Europe. Systems development and IT project experience can also be seen as a major benefit by certain prospective employers. Roles vary considerably and we would therefore be keen to discuss specific suitable opportunities with qualified individuals on a case by case basis.
