Finance Manager
Cradley Heath | £45,000–£50,000
Full-time | Permanent | On-site
Are you a hands-on Finance Manager who enjoys having real ownership of the numbers?
We’re recruiting for an established, privately owned business looking for an experienced Finance Manager to take responsibility for its day-to-day finance function.
This is a broad role where you’ll be close to the operational side of the business, producing accurate management information, managing cashflow and providing the financial insight needed to support commercial decision-making.
You’ll also manage and support an Accounts Assistant, so we’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable getting into the detail and taking a wider view of business performance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll be doing:
- Producing monthly management accounts
- Managing cashflow and weekly payment runs
- Overseeing purchase ledger, reconciliations and credit control
- Managing payroll, VAT and CIS returns
- Reviewing project profitability and financial performance
- Overseeing transactional finance and maintaining strong financial controls
- Supporting operational and commercial decision-making
- Managing and developing an Accounts Assistant
What we’re looking for:
- Strong end-to-end finance experience
- Previous experience within a Finance Manager, Management Accountant or similar hands-on role
- Confident producing management accounts
- Strong cashflow and financial control experience
- Commercially aware with excellent attention to detail
- Comfortable working within a busy, operational environment
- Previous experience managing or mentoring others
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Construction, contracting or project-based industry experience would be beneficial, but it is not essential.
Likewise, a formal accounting qualification is welcomed but not required – relevant experience and the ability to take ownership of the finance function are much more important.
