Finance Manager/No2 in Finance
📍 South London | Hybrid Working | £75,000 - £80,000 + Benefits
Are you a commercially minded Finance Manager or Financial Controller looking for a broad role where you can genuinely influence the direction of a growing manufacturing business?
What's on Offer
- £75,000 - £80,000
- Hybrid working
- Broad, varied Finance Manager position
- International group environment
- High level of exposure to senior leadership
- Opportunity to influence systems, processes and future growth
I'm working exclusively with an international manufacturing organisation seeking a qualified Finance Manager to partner closely with the UK&I Head of Finance and leadership team. This is a varied role offering exposure across financial control, commercial finance, operations and team leadership.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a traditional month-end reporting role. You'll take ownership of the day-to-day finance function whilst acting as a trusted business partner to senior stakeholders, providing commercial insight to support business performance and continuous improvement.
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.
You'll also have the opportunity to develop and mentor a finance team while driving process improvements across systems, reporting and financial controls.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the month-end close and management reporting process
- Produce budgets, forecasts and cashflow forecasts
- Business partner operational managers, supporting margin analysis, costing and commercial decision making
- Take ownership of stock accounting, product costing and inventory controls
- Manage year-end audit and statutory reporting
- Oversee balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls
- Support group reporting and intercompany accounting
- Drive finance process improvements and systems enhancements
- Lead, mentor and develop the finance team

About You
You'll be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified with at least 3 years' post-qualified experience and ideally come from a manufacturing, FMCG, food or other stock-led environment. You'll enjoy operating in a hands-on role and be comfortable balancing technical finance with commercial business partnering.
Experience in the following would be highly advantageous:
- Manufacturing or stock accounting
- Costing and margin analysis
- Team leadership
- Budgeting and forecasting
- ERP systems (Sage 200 experience beneficial but not essential)
- Group reporting
Above all, we're looking for someone who enjoys improving processes, building relationships and making a genuine impact on the wider business.
If you're interested in hearing more, I'd be delighted to arrange a confidential conversation.
