Finance Manager – Engineering & Manufacturing
📍 Walsall, West Midlands | On-site
💰 £60,000 – £65,000
🌍 International Engineering Group
Are you a hands-on Finance Manager who enjoys getting stuck into the detail rather than simply overseeing the numbers? Do you enjoy improving financial processes, resolving problems and bringing structure to a growing business?
I'm supporting an established engineering and manufacturing business in the appointment of a Finance Manager.
The organisation designs and manufactures specialist engineered equipment and solutions for customers operating across the global energy sector.
Part of a larger international group, the business is currently bringing together its finance activities across multiple locations, creating an opportunity for someone to take ownership, introduce improvements and make a genuine impact.
The Opportunity
This is a broad, hands-on role where you'll be responsible for the day-to-day financial activities, ensuring accurate reporting and supporting the integration of finance processes across the organisation.
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.
Working closely with the Finance Director, you'll help establish consistent reporting, improve financial visibility and support the introduction of a new ERP system.
You'll also work with colleagues across the UK and internationally, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys combining practical accounting with business partnering and process improvement.
Key Responsibilities
- Take ownership of monthly management accounts, financial reporting and day-to-day finance activities.
- Prepare VAT returns, coordinate audit requirements and ensure accurate financial records.
- Work closely with the Finance Director and operational teams to resolve reporting issues and improve financial visibility.
- Help centralise and streamline finance processes across multiple UK and international locations.
- Support ERP implementation, reporting improvements and the development of more efficient financial processes.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years' experience within finance, ideally in a Finance Manager, Management Accountant or similar position.
- Strong accounting fundamentals, with an AAT qualification, equivalent training or relevant practical experience.
- Excellent Excel skills and the confidence to investigate financial discrepancies and resolve issues.
- Experience within an engineering, manufacturing or industrial environment would be advantageous.
- Proactive, organised and comfortable taking ownership within a business where systems and processes are evolving.

Why Consider It?
This isn't a role where everything is already perfectly structured.
The business is looking for someone who enjoys building better processes, solving problems and taking responsibility.
You'll work directly with the Finance Director, gain exposure across multiple business locations and play an important part in how the finance function develops.
With ongoing integration and investment in financial systems, there's an opportunity to broaden your responsibilities as the organisation continues to evolve.
