Are you a commercially minded finance professional looking for a role where you can have genuine influence on a growing business?
We’re partnering with a profitable and ambitious SME that is investing heavily in its people, systems and future growth. This is an exciting opportunity for a Finance Manager to take ownership of the finance function and become a trusted partner to senior leadership, helping shape strategy, improve performance and support continued expansion.
This is far more than a traditional reporting role. You’ll combine strong financial control with commercial insight, working closely with operational leaders to provide meaningful analysis, challenge decision-making and help drive business success.
The role
Reporting directly to the Finance Director, you’ll lead the day-to-day finance function, ensuring accurate reporting, robust controls and actionable financial insight across the business. You’ll also have the opportunity to enhance systems, streamline processes and develop a high-performing finance team.
