You know how an employee benefits function should be run. \n You know where implementations stall, why renewals drift and what information providers will ask for before they ask for it. \n But perhaps you are still working within processes you did not create and do not have the authority to improve. \n This role gives you that authority. \n You will become the first dedicated Employee Benefits Administrator within a growing corporate benefits function. \n You will inherit the existing scheme book, implement new arrangements and manage renewals. But you will also have the freedom to put your own stamp on how the service operates. \n You will help create the processes, establish service standards, improve provider relationships and shape the client experience as the employee benefits side of the business grows. \n And if that growth continues as expected, the longer-term opportunity is to head up the administration team you have helped build. \n PACKAGE \n The package includes: \n\n • £35,000 basic salary plus bonus (up to £5,000)\n, • 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays\n, • The option to buy or sell up to five additional holiday days\n, • Two home-working days each week\n, • Flexible core hours between 10am and 2pm\n, • Employee recognition awards\n, • A structured succession-planning programme\n, • A supportive management structure designed to help you progress\n, • Employee Assistance Programme with confidential 24-hour support\n, • Unlimited counselling sessions\n, • Access to virtual doctors for you and your family\n\n The role is based in Preston and is hybrid, although it is more office-led than fully remote. You will normally spend three days each week in the office and two working from home, post-probation. \n THE JOB \n This is not a job for someone who only wants to process applications handed down by an adviser. \n It is for someone who understands employee benefits, can deal confidently with clients and providers, and would relish the opportunity to make a developing function their own. \n The firm advises a significant number of larger businesses, creating a steady stream of opportunities to introduce new employee benefit arrangements and expand existing schemes. \n You will become the main administrative contact for a portfolio of corporate clients, working across. \n\n • Group life assurance\n, • Group income protection\n, • Group critical illness\n, • Private medical insurance/healthcare\n, • Cash plans\n, • Group pensions\n\n You will take new schemes from instruction through to implementation, gathering employee and scheme data, liaising with clients’ HR and finance teams, completing provider applications and making sure cases continue moving. \n You will also manage scheme renewals, issue letters of authority and appointment, send suitability reports and identify missing information or potential compliance issues before they become a problem. \n The important part is that you will not be expected to sit quietly behind the advisers and wait for instructions. \n You will be trusted to speak directly with clients, providers and insurers, understand what each party needs and take responsibility for getting things done. \n Employee benefits is now being developed as a specialist growth area in its own right, which gives the first dedicated recruit considerable scope to influence how it develops. \n HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED \n You will already have experience administering a broad range of employee benefit schemes. \n You should be comfortable managing new-business implementation and renewals, completing provider applications and dealing directly with corporate clients. \n You will also need: \n\n • Knowledge of group life assurance, income protection, critical illness and private medical insurance\n, • Experience gathering employee and scheme data\n, • Confidence speaking with HR and finance teams\n, • A good understanding of provider processes and requirements\n, • The ability to spot missing information and keep work progressing\n, • Enough experience to manage your workload without constant supervision\n\n An understanding of group personal pensions and auto-enrolment would be a bonus but not a pre-requisite (it's something they can train you in). \n You'll be someone who can take ownership, improve how things are done and become the key employee benefits person within the business. \n You will not just inherit the work. \n You will help decide how it gets done. \n ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \n Build your future. Click apply. \n Don't worry if your CV isn't up to date. Send us what you have and we can come to the CV later. \n Everyone will receive a response.

Financial Accountant (12-Month FTC) | High-Growth Digital Sports Media Business | Manchester \n \n Harmonic are delighted to be partnering on an exclusive basis with one of the UK's fastest-growing digital sports media businesses, in the search for a Financial Accountant to join their Manchester-based finance team. This is a 12-month fixed term contract with a genuine chance of becoming permanent. It suits a tech-savvy, self-starting finance professional who wants real ownership in a fast-moving media environment. \n \n The Business: \n \n Our client is a digital media business founded in 2021. It has quickly become one of the most-watched sports content brands in the world, with tens of millions of monthly views across its channels. It is known for long-form conversations with the biggest names in sport, fan-led debate and hit original series. The team is around 50 people and growing quickly. \n \n The business was acquired by a major UK media group last year. More recently, it acquired a portfolio of early-stage content brands of its own. The result is an interesting and complex structure: a small, creative business sitting inside a large corporate group, which in turn owns very young content companies. Finance sits at the centre of all of this. The team is led by an experienced CFO-level finance leader and a Head of Finance, supported by a Financial Accountant who comes from a production accounting background. \n \n The Role: \n \n This hire will work alongside the existing Financial Accountant and complement their skill set. Our client is especially keen to bring in someone with strong Excel skills who is comfortable with finance systems, AI tools and automation. You would help shape how the finance function works as it integrates into the wider group. \n Your main focus will be the newly acquired content companies. You will own their month-end accounts, bring structure to purchase ordering and intercompany recharges, and help migrate the business onto the group's finance system. The migration is targeted for early November. The group's processes and timelines also need to be followed, so you will need to balance building new processes with keeping to the group's standards. \n Senior finance leadership is not always based in Manchester, so you will need the maturity and self-discipline to manage your own workload with limited day-to-day oversight. Personality, curiosity and fit with the culture carry real weight, and the more you want to take on, the more responsibility is available. \n \n Main Duties: \n\n • Own the month-end accounts for two recently acquired content companies, including journals, accruals and reconciliations\n, • Manage the purchase order process end to end, making sure spend is properly approved, tracked and recorded\n, • Process and reconcile intercompany recharges across the group structure\n, • Support the migration of finance processes and data onto the group's system (Workday), targeted for early November\n, • Prepare cash flow forecasts and monitor cash across the entities\n, • Work with production teams on forecasting and cost visibility\n, • Design and put in place new processes and controls for the acquired entities, while keeping to group processes and timelines\n, • Find opportunities to improve and automate finance processes, using Excel, AI tools and system functionality\n, • Take on more responsibility across the wider finance function as your capacity and appetite allow\n\n \n What we need to see (essential): \n\n • ACCA / ACA / CIMA - Finalist or Qualified by Experience\n, • Strong Excel skills and a real interest in finance systems, AI tools and automation\n, • A proactive, hands-on approach, with a willingness to take ownership and pick up more as the role develops\n, • Strong communication skills and confidence working with non-finance and creative teams\n\n \n What we'd like to see (bonus): \n\n • Experience in a media, broadcast, digital content or production environment\n, • Hands-on Workday experience\n, • An interest in sports media culture\n\n \n Salary: £45,000 - £50,000 (£55,000 for perfect candidate) \n \n Contract Length: 12-month fixed term contract, full-time, with potential to become permanent \n \n Location: Manchester - four days per week in the office and one day working from home, with a flexible approach to this. \n \n Start Date: ASAP ideal - up to one month's notice considered \n \n If this role is of interest, please apply online or email me at \n At Harmonic, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace. We actively welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and assure you that every candidate will be thoughtfully considered for the roles we represent, without regard to race, religion, gender expression, disability, or sexual orientation.

Performance based incentive of up to 50% of basic salary \n Potential total earnings of £150,000–£195,000 \n \n This is not a role built around maintaining a narrow technical remit or reviewing transactions from a distance. \n \n It is an opportunity to lead live M&A work, advise successful entrepreneurs and help build a specialist service within an independent advisory firm that is developing its offering around what clients actually need. \n \n Led by a founder recognised in Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe, the firm has doubled its revenue in each of the past four years. Its growth has been driven by bringing tax, strategic advisory and wealth management closer together around the wider commercial and personal decisions faced by successful business owners. \n \n That approach is now being developed through four specialist tax departments: M&A Tax, Corporate Tax, International Tax and Private Client Tax. Each department will have its own Head of Department, reporting to the Tax Director and supported by Managers, Assistant Managers and Associates. \n \n M&A is already a live and growing area within the firm. An established tax advisory team is delivering complex work for existing clients, including four live transactions involving businesses with turnover ranging from approximately £10 million to £60 million. \n \n The next step is to appoint a Head of M&A Tax who can lead that work, develop the department and help connect it to the wider advisory platform being built around the firm’s clients. \n \n A network that creates real advisory opportunities \n \n As part of the wider advisory platform being built around the firm, its owner is currently launching a paid, selective private members’ club for successful founders and entrepreneurs. Membership is for business owners whose companies generate at least £1 million of EBITDA, and the club already has a waiting list. \n \n Membership includes direct access to the tax advisory team, alongside private dinners, high-profile speakers and exceptional UK and international experiences. \n \n This is directly relevant to the M&A opportunity. The club is creating trusted relationships with business owners who may need advice on acquisitions, investment, restructuring, sale and the next phase of their personal wealth. The M&A team will sit within those relationships, with its advice connected to the wider commercial decisions those founders are making. \n \n The firm also has an established partnership with a private wealth-management business overseeing approximately £4 billion of assets. That relationship adds another important dimension to the advice being developed around successful business owners, their companies and their personal wealth. \n \n The founder has personally created and organised an exclusive upcoming event on Sir Richard Branson’s private Necker Island. It sold out within two weeks, generated an extensive waiting list and will bring together entrepreneurs representing approximately £3 billion in combined wealth. \n \n The scale and quality of these relationships are important because they create access to the people behind the businesses. For the M&A team, that means working with founders who are acquiring companies, raising investment, restructuring groups, preparing for sale or deciding what comes next. \n \n This sits alongside significant investment in a wider Strategic and Business Advisory team, with further Corporate Finance and Debt Advisory capabilities also being developed. \n \n Together, these services are creating a connected advisory platform capable of supporting founders through growth, investment, acquisition, sale and the decisions that follow. \n \n The opportunity \n \n You will lead complex acquisitions, disposals and restructuring projects, advising founders and business owners on the tax implications of important commercial decisions. Your work could include buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence, transaction structuring, valuation and pricing risks, pre-sale planning, agreements and covenants, deal protections, funds flows and management incentive arrangements. \n \n The expectation is that you understand the commercial objective behind each transaction, identify the important tax issues and turn complex technical analysis into advice that helps the client move forward. \n \n Alongside client delivery, you will own the direction, development and performance of the M&A Tax department. You will help shape its proposition, technical standards and pipeline, while working closely with the Corporate Tax, International Tax, Private Client Tax and wider Strategic and Business Advisory teams. \n \n Work with founders on important commercial decisions \n \n The clients are privately owned and founder-led businesses, often alongside high-net-worth individuals whose personal and commercial interests are closely connected. \n \n They are acquiring businesses, preparing for investment, restructuring groups, considering a sale or planning what comes next. The work is technically demanding, commercially relevant and directly connected to the decisions they are making. \n \n You will work with decision-makers who value clear judgement and practical advice. The role combines technical transaction tax work with the opportunity to become a trusted adviser to the people behind the deal. \n \n Why join at this stage? \n \n The department is being built around live client demand, an active transaction pipeline and a wider network of entrepreneurial clients. \n \n The team structure will grow around you which means there is an opportunity is to build a specialist M&A Tax service with the backing of an established tax team and direct access to senior leadership. \n \n Who this could suit \n \n This appointment is exclusively for a tax professional with experience gained in an accountancy practice. You will bring substantial M&A or transaction tax experience, strong technical judgement and the ability to advise confidently on complex deals. \n \n If you want your next move to offer interesting clients, greater influence and the opportunity to help shape what comes next, please get in touch for a confidential conversation.
