Finance Manager
Leeds | £50,000–£55,000 + bonus | Hybrid
Ready to step up from Management Accountant into a broader Finance Manager role? A well-established, family-owned business in Leeds is looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to take ownership of its day-to-day financial reporting, management accounts, and controls.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Management Accountant or Senior Management Accountant who wants more responsibility, greater commercial exposure, and direct access to senior leadership.
You’ll work closely with the Managing Director and an experienced fractional Finance Director, giving you the chance to take real ownership while still having senior-level support when needed.
The Role
You will take the lead on the day-to-day financial management of the business, including:
- Producing monthly management accounts
- Managing month-end, including reconciliations, accruals, prepayments, and journals
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and cash-flow planning
- Producing commercial reporting on revenue, costs, margins, and profitability
- Maintaining oversight of working capital
- Coordinating VAT, payroll information, and year-end requirements
- Improving finance processes, controls, and reporting
- Providing clear financial information to the Managing Director
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.
As you become established, there will be scope to take on broader commercial and financial responsibilities.
About You
You’ll ideally have:
- Strong management accounts and month-end experience
- A good understanding of P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow
- Experience of budgeting and forecasting
- A practical understanding of financial controls
- Confidence working independently and taking ownership
- The ability to communicate financial information clearly
- A hands-on, commercially minded approach
Experience within an SME, owner-managed, or family-owned business would be particularly useful.
You may be ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified, part-qualified, or qualified by experience. Experience within a project-led, service, facilities, interiors, installation, or maintenance environment would be advantageous, but is not essential.
