Finance Manager
Location: Elland, West Yorkshire
Salary: Up to £50,000 depending on experience
Reporting to: CFO
Build. Control. Improve.
Are you an experienced Finance Manager who thrives in a fast-moving environment?
Are you looking for a role where you can build, improve and influence, rather than simply maintain an established finance function?
As a growing company, this is an opportunity to join at an exciting stage and help shape the systems, processes and infrastructure that will support its next phase of growth.
Areera is a tech-led recycling business focused on transforming the way electronic waste is recovered and reused. Combining advanced recycling processes with automation, robotics and data-driven technology, Areera is scaling its UK operations and building a business focused on recovering valuable materials and supporting the circular economy.
The Role
Reporting directly to the CFO, you will take ownership of financial control, month-end close, cash and working capital, management reporting and key finance processes.
This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who enjoys working at pace, solving problems and getting into the detail. You will be joining a business where processes and systems are still developing, so the ability to take ownership, make decisions and build structure is essential.

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.

- Leading and coordinating the monthly financial close and production of management accounts
- Preparing and reviewing P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reporting
- Managing the daily cash position and 13-week cash flow forecasting

- Maintaining robust balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls
- Leading and developing the finance and administration teams across a multi-site operation
- Overseeing purchase-to-pay and order-to-cash processes
- Managing accruals, prepayments, fixed assets, intercompany balances and other month-end accounting
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting, margin analysis and commercial decision-making
- Coordinating VAT and routine tax compliance
- Supporting audit, statutory reporting and year-end requirements
- Overseeing finance systems, reporting processes and data integrity
- Identifying opportunities to improve processes, automation, controls and efficiency
