Finance Manager
Derby | £60,000 + Benefits | Hybrid Working (4 days office / 1 day home) A successful, growing business operating within the luxury goods sector is seeking an experienced Finance Manager to become the senior finance lead within the organisation. Reporting directly to the Directors, this is a hands-on role with responsibility for all aspects of finance across a sub £35m turnover business. You'll be the go-to person for financial matters, providing robust financial control, insightful reporting and commercial support to help drive business performance. This is not a corporate environment with layers of management and specialist teams. Instead, you'll operate at the heart of the business, working closely with key decision-makers and gaining exposure to every aspect of the operation. The culture is ambitious, fast-paced and results-driven. Expectations are high, accountability is valued and success is recognised. The successful candidate will be someone who thrives in this environment and enjoys taking ownership rather than waiting for direction.
