Finance Manager
Finance Manager - Permanent Role - Hybrid Working - Opportunity for Transformation & Change
A hands-on finance role with genuine scope to shape reporting, strengthen controls and improve the way finance works.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant who enjoys combining strong operational finance with business partnering, systems improvement and meaningful commercial insight. Joining at a point of change, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible impact rather than simply inherit an established routine.

The Role
Working closely with senior finance leadership, you’ll take ownership across management reporting, budgeting, forecasting and balance-sheet control, while partnering with stakeholders to turn financial information into better decisions.

There is also a strong improvement agenda. You’ll play an important role in developing finance processes, strengthening reporting and controls, improving cash-flow forecasting and financial modelling, and making better use of the existing ERP.
Key priorities will include:

• Producing and reviewing accurate management accounts, forecasts and budgets
• Delivering insightful variance analysis and providing constructive challenge to budget holders
• Supporting statutory accounts preparation and audit requirements
• Improving cash-flow forecasting and financial modelling
• Maintaining robust balance-sheet and control-account reconciliations
• Supporting VAT and wider financial compliance requirements
• Developing reporting, controls and functionality within the ERP system
• Identifying practical opportunities to improve finance processes, data and operational efficiency
• Supporting and developing less-experienced finance colleagues

About You

• You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with a strong grounding in operational finance and the confidence to work effectively with non-finance stakeholders.
• You’ll bring solid experience of management accounts, budgeting, forecasting and balance-sheet reconciliations, alongside advanced Excel capability.
• Experience within large ERPs, systems development, cash-flow forecasting, VAT or finance transformation would be particularly valuable.
• Just as importantly, you’ll be proactive, adaptable and comfortable challenging constructively while remaining collaborative.
