Finance Systems Manager – Business Central
Location: Woking, with the ability to work from the office at least 3 days per week
Salary: £65,000 - £75,000 + benefits
Employment Type: Permanent
Are you a Business Central specialist who enjoys having real ownership of finance systems? This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing and fast-paced organisation as Finance Systems Manager, taking responsibility for the development, optimisation, and ongoing performance of its finance systems landscape.
This is not simply a support role. You will become the key owner of the finance systems environment, working closely with Finance, IT, and external partners to ensure systems continue to perform, evolve, and deliver genuine value to the wider business.
The role would suit someone who has already worked independently in a similar finance systems position and is comfortable taking ownership, making decisions, and driving improvements rather than simply responding to tickets and requests.
What you will be responsible for
- Take ownership of the organisation's finance systems, ensuring stability, performance, data integrity, and effective controls
- Act as the key link between Finance, IT, and external technology partners
- Become the in-house Business Central expert, configuring, maintaining, and optimising the platform to meet changing business requirements
- Lead the ongoing optimisation of Business Central following implementation, identifying opportunities to improve processes, automation, and system performance
- Own and maintain a clear finance systems roadmap, ensuring future developments and improvements are aligned with business priorities
- Lead or play a key role in system upgrades, enhancements, migrations, and new implementations
- Manage system improvements from initial requirements through to testing, delivery, and post-implementation review
- Work with finance stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into effective system solutions
- Support the integration of finance systems with other business platforms, with experience of expense system integrations being particularly useful
- Help improve reporting, dashboards, and financial data outputs across the organisation
- Ensure finance processes and systems support accurate and timely reporting across areas including GL, AP, and AR
- Provide guidance, training, and support to users, helping the wider finance function get the most from its systems
- Drive standardisation, best practice, and continuous improvement across finance systems

- A track record of independently managing and improving finance systems within an organisation
- Experience delivering system upgrades, enhancements, implementations, or migrations

- A strong understanding of core finance processes including GL, AP, AR, and financial reporting

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is comfortable being the person who owns the finance systems agenda.
You'll need to be able to work autonomously, understand what needs improving, build a roadmap, and then make things happen.
What's on offer
This is a permanent opportunity offering up to £75,000, alongside a competitive benefits package.
You will have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on the organisation's finance technology landscape, working on strategic projects while also having the autonomy to shape how the systems develop.
The role is ideally based in Woking, with a minimum expectation of 3 days per week in the office. There will also be occasional travel to London.
If you're an experienced Business Central professional who wants to move beyond simply supporting an ERP and take genuine ownership of a company's finance systems strategy, this could be an excellent next step.
