Finance Manager

Looking to step out of a pure month-end role and into something with real influence?

We’re working with a growing, fast-paced business that needs a commercially minded finance professional to support their Financial Controller and help drive the function forward. This isn’t just about reporting numbers it’s about understanding them, improving them, and having a genuine say in how the finance team evolves.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take ownership of the month-end process, but with more exposure than a typical role getting involved in everything from reporting and controls to cashflow and business decision-making.

Alongside producing accurate management accounts, you’ll be:

• Getting stuck into balance sheet ownership and improving financial controls
• Supporting audit, compliance, and statutory requirements without it feeling like a tick-box exercise
• Keeping a close eye on cashflow and working capital, helping the business stay ahead of risks
• Working on systems, automation, and process improvements (they actually want someone to challenge the status quo)
• Partnering with the wider business, digging into margins, costs, and performance rather than just reporting them

You’ll also act as a right hand to the Financial Controller, stepping up when needed and helping guide more junior team members.

What they’re looking for

• Qualified Accountant – QBE and Part-qualified or finalist also considered dependent on experience
• Someone who enjoys month-end but wants more than just month-end
• Strong attention to detail, but equally someone who can see the bigger picture
• Confident communicator, able to push back, ask questions, and add value
• Systems-savvy or at least curious about improving processes

Why this role?

• Genuine progression route into a Financial Controller position
• A business that’s growing and open to change not stuck in old ways
• Broad exposure across finance, not siloed
• A chance to actually influence how things are done
