Head of Finance | Suffolk | £100K+ + 10% BONUS
A genuine opportunity to shape the financial future of a growing manufacturing business.
I'm working exclusively with an ambitious UK manufacturing business that has grown significantly over the last 12 months — with a further 20–25% growth projected over the next year.
As the business continues to invest, expand and scale, they're now looking for an exceptional Head of Finance to take ownership of the financial function and play a key role in the next phase of growth.

- Up to £100,000k base salary
- 10% annual bonus
- Further Benefits
- Suffolk
- Office / site-based, possible 1 day WFH
The opportunity
This is much more than a reporting role.
You'll be a key member of the leadership team, providing the financial insight, challenge and commercial support needed to help the business deliver its ambitious growth plans.
You'll have significant exposure to the MD and senior leadership team, helping shape investment decisions, profitability, performance and the future development of the site.
You'll be responsible for:
- Leading the overall finance function
- Providing strategic financial insight to the MD and leadership team
- Driving budgeting, forecasting and financial planning
- Owning financial performance, reporting and controls
- Providing commercial analysis and challenging business decisions where required
- Supporting continued sales and profitability growth
- Driving improved visibility of costs, margins and operational performance
- Supporting CAPEX, investment and site expansion
- Identifying opportunities to improve financial performance and efficiency
- Developing the finance team and strengthening financial processes
- Ensuring the business has the financial infrastructure required to support continued growth
