Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom
Accountancy
Immediate Start
£80k - £90k Annual
Full-Time
Ready to fast-track your finance career? This is your next big step.
Join a business on a clear growth path, and put your energy, curiosity and eye for technology to work shaping its financial future. You'll help guide the next phase of growth across global markets - building serious expertise in multi-entity finance and strategic planning far faster than you would in a typical role at this stage.
This isn't a seat-warming job. You'll be the most senior finance person in the business, working directly alongside the MD. That means getting stuck in - approving payments, reviewing revenue recognition, going through every invoice that needs a judgment call. Small team, high trust, real autonomy.
Alongside the day-to-day, you'll be shaping how we run the business: improving our systems and reporting, connecting our data into something we can actually use, and helping us build the financial infrastructure to support international growth.
What you'll do
You'll investigate, summarise, report on, and recommend improvements - getting your insights in front of senior leadership from day one. You'll support the finance team in delivering a high-quality service to all stakeholders, with plenty of scope to grow into leading it.
You'll work closely with the MD, getting involved in coaching P&L managers and supporting decisions that shape the company's future - brilliant experience to have on your CV early in your career.
You'll take on financial management across international entities, with genuine opportunities to get involved in new market entries and expansion.
You'll also get exposure to shared services, helping make sure HR, IT and facilities support the business rather than slow it down. With recent acquisitions in play, you'll be part of the team driving financial integration - a great chance to build experience in an area many finance professionals don't see until much later in their career.
What you'll need
Qualified accountant with solid experience as the number one finance person in an SME
Manufacturing background - you understand stock, production costs and supply chains
Hands-on by nature - comfortable doing the work, not just directing it
Curious about technology - we'd love someone who gets excited about better dashboards and smarter data, not someone waiting for an IT department to fix things
The kind of person who'll tell the MD no when it mattersAbout the company
They're a world-leading designer and manufacturer of advanced scientific instruments. Join at an exciting stage of growth, with real scope to grow alongside the business
