Keen on advancing your finance career - step into this brilliant Finance Manager role
West Yorkshire  | High-Performing Manufacturing Business

An attractive opportunity has arisen for a commercially astute Finance Manager to join a well-established manufacturing business undergoing continued investment and growth. This is a key leadership-facing role, offering strong visibility, genuine influence, and the chance to play a central part in driving operational and financial performance.

The Opportunity
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will act as a business partner to site leadership, combining strong financial control with commercial insight. Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading month-end close and management reporting, delivering clear and actionable insight
• Owning balance sheet integrity, reconciliations, and audit readiness
• Partnering closely with operations to challenge costs, improve performance, and drive efficiencies
• Leading budgeting and forecasting, providing robust assumptions and scenario analysis
• Supporting capital investment decisions and maintaining strong governance across spend
• Developing and mentoring a direct report, ensuring high standards and continuous improvement 

Is this right for you?

• You'll be a confident, qualified accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment:
• Possess a strong grounding in management reporting, controls, and forecasting
• Confident partnering with and challenging non-finance stakeholders
• Commercially aware, with the ability to translate numbers into insight
• Organised, detail-focused, and proactive in approach
• Manufacturing or operational experience beneficial, but not essential
• You’ll manage one direct report in this role — previous experience is advantageous, but not essential if you’re ready to take your first step into leadership.

This role offers the chance to move beyond traditional finance responsibilities into a position where you will actively shape performance, influence outcomes, and add real commercial value.

If you're someone ambitious, driven, and keen to build a long-term career within a dynamic and evolving environment, this could be the ideal opportunity.
