A genuinely exciting opportunity for an experienced, qualified Finance Manager to take ownership of the full finance function within a fantastic local business.

Are you ready to step into a role where you really own the numbers?

We're looking for a fully qualified Finance Manager to join a successful and well-established local business. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, commercially minded and having real influence across the business.

The Opportunity

As Finance Manager, you'll sit at the heart of the business, heading up a standalone Finance function and taking responsibility for the entire finance process from start to finish.

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll be a key member of the leadership team, providing accurate financial information, insight and challenge to support business decision-making.

You'll also oversee Payroll, working closely with a small finance team to ensure everything runs smoothly, accurately and efficiently.

What you'll be responsible for

Taking full ownership of the day-to-day Finance function

Producing monthly management accounts and financial reporting

Budgeting, forecasting and cash-flow management

Providing commercial insight and analysis to the MD

Managing the year-end and audit process

Overseeing VAT and other statutory requirements

Managing and developing a small Finance team

Taking responsibility for the full Payroll process

Driving improvements across finance processes and controls

Acting as a trusted financial partner to the MD and wider business

What we're looking for

You'll be a qualified accountant with strong experience across the full finance cycle. You'll be comfortable operating autonomously, making decisions and taking ownership rather than simply being a small part of a larger finance department.

Payroll experience is essential, as you'll have responsibility for overseeing this process alongside your Finance duties.

We're looking for someone who is

ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified

Experienced in a broad, hands-on Finance Manager role

Confident with management accounts, budgeting and forecasting

Experienced in Payroll

Commercially aware with excellent attention to detail

Comfortable reporting directly to a senior business leader

A natural leader who enjoys working with and supporting a small team

Why join?

This is much more than a traditional Finance Manager position. You'll have genuine ownership, visibility and influence, working closely with the MD and playing a key role in the continued success of a fantastic local business.

If you're a qualified Finance professional looking for a role where you can make a real difference, take ownership and be part of something exciting, we'd love to hear from you.
