Are you a hands-on Finance Manager who enjoys getting into the detail, improving processes, and leading from the front?

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established and growing business for a Finance Manager to join their finance team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced SME environment, enjoys rolling up their sleeves, and takes pride in producing accurate financial information while driving continuous improvement.
This is not a role for someone who wants to operate purely at a strategic level. We're looking for a proactive, detail-oriented finance professional who is happy to be involved in the day-to-day running of the finance function while leading a small team.

The Role
As Finance Manager, you'll take ownership of the finance function's day-to-day operations, ensuring accurate financial reporting, maintaining strong financial controls, and supporting the business through continuous process improvements. Alongside managing a team, you'll remain actively involved in the detail, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys a genuinely hands-on role.

Key Responsibilities
* Lead, mentor and support a team of three, overseeing daily finance operations and ensuring month-end deadlines are met.
* Take ownership of the month-end close, ensuring accurate, timely and complete financial reporting.
* Manage the accounting for multi-million-pound transactions with a strong focus on accuracy and financial control.
* Take ownership of intercompany accounting across multiple entities, managing reconciliations, resolving discrepancies, and ensuring the integrity of financial records.
* Drive process improvements by creating new models and schedules to automate prepayments, accruals and depreciation calculations, reducing manual intervention and improving efficiency.
* Identify opportunities to streamline processes, strengthen controls, and enhance the overall efficiency of the finance function.
* Prepare journals, balance sheet reconciliations and supporting schedules to a high standard.
* Support wider finance projects and continuous improvement initiatives as the business continues to grow.

About You
* Previous experience as a Finance Manager or Senior Management Accountant within an SME or fast-paced commercial environment.
* A genuinely hands-on approach with the willingness to be involved in all aspects of the finance function.
* Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills.
* Experience managing or mentoring a small finance team.
* Confident managing complex reconciliations and high-value financial transactions.
* Strong Excel skills with experience building and improving financial models.
* ACCA, ACA or CIMA qualified, part-qualified or qualified by experience will all be considered, depending on experience.

What's on Offer
* Salary of £55,000 - £60,000 per annum.
* Office-based role in Amersham (5 days per week).
* The opportunity to play a key role within a successful and growing business.
* A collaborative environment where you'll have the opportunity to make a tangible impact through process improvements and operational excellence.

If you're a detail-focused Finance Manager who enjoys balancing team leadership with a hands-on approach to finance, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today for a confidential discussion.
