Finance Manager

A finance role with ownership, stability and real influence.

Some finance roles give you a small part of the process. This one gives you ownership.

You'll be joining a successful, profitable SME where finance genuinely matters. The business is established, busy and growing, and now needs an experienced finance professional who can take control of the day-to-day finance function and provide accurate, timely information to support better decisions.

You won't be hidden away in a large finance team. You'll be trusted to manage the numbers, keep the finance function running smoothly and work directly with the business owner.

It's a role for someone who enjoys responsibility, likes being close to the detail and wants to become a valued part of a stable business.

The company has a long-serving team and a close-knit culture. People tend to stay. It is the kind of environment where you can settle, build strong relationships and make a visible difference.

You'll be responsible for a broad range of finance duties including monthly management information, reconciliations, payroll, customer billing, direct debit collections, VAT returns, journals, accruals, prepayments and month-end reporting.

There is a high volume of customer billing, much of it collected by direct debit, so accuracy and attention to detail are important. Sage 50 Accounts experience and Sage Payroll experience would be helpful.

This could be a great move if you want a long-term role where you can take ownership, be trusted and get on with the job.

It may not be the right move if you are looking for hybrid working, a large finance team or a corporate environment.

But if you want a hands-on finance role in a stable SME, with direct access to the owner, variety in your work and the chance to become a key person in the business, it is well worth a conversation.
