Benjamin Edwards is recruiting on behalf of a well-established and successful SME for an experienced Finance Manager. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing business in a broad and influential role, working closely with the Managing Director and senior leadership team.

As the senior finance professional within the business, you will lead the finance function while also supporting people-related activities across the organisation.
