Job Description:
Full job descriptionTake ownership of finance today, with scope to become Finance Director in the future.

I’m working with a profitable, growing, family-owned manufacturing group with a turnover of c£5m across 3 companies, looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to join its management team.

Working closely with the Managing Director and Sales Director, you’ll lead the finance function and provide the insight that helps shape commercial decisions across the group.

The vacancy has arisen through the current Finance Manager’s planned retirement. They’re recruiting ahead of time to allow for a comprehensive, structured handover, giving you the opportunity to properly understand the business before taking the reins.

The role

You’ll manage a team of 3, including purchasing, with responsibility for:

*Preparing management accounts, profitability reports and financial analysis across the group.
*Managing cash flow, budgets, forecasts and working capital.
*Overseeing VAT, financial compliance and year-end preparation.
*Partnering with the MD and Sales Director to understand performance and support commercial decisions.
*Strengthening financial controls, improving processes and developing your team.

You’ll have the independence to make improvements and a voice in how the business is run. There is also scope to progress to Finance Director in the future as you develop within the role.

About you

*You might already be a Finance Manager looking for broader responsibility, or an experienced accountant ready to take ownership of a small finance function.
*Qualifications are welcome, but practical experience, sound judgement and a hands-on approach are equally valued. You’ll be comfortable managing a small team, getting into the detail and explaining the numbers to colleagues outside finance.
*Experience in manufacturing, distribution, stock or purchasing would be particularly useful.
*Above all, you’ll be approachable, commercially aware and keen to become part of the wider business.


What’s on offer
*£43,000 - £48,000 salary.
*Annual bonus.
*23 days’ annual leave, rising to 30, plus bank holidays and your birthday off.
*Flexible working - 38 hours per week to be worked between 7-5 Mon-Thursday and 7-1 on Fridays (early finish)
*Health Cash Plan
*Scope for future progression to Finance Director.

If you’re looking for a broad finance role where you can take ownership, influence decisions and build a long-term future, get in touch for a confidential chat.
