* Management Accounts: Preparing monthly & quarterly reports
* Accounting Operations: Handling accounts payable/receivable, bank reconciliation & VAT submissions
* Payroll & Pensions: Running payroll and managing pension payments
* Banking & Reporting: Liaising with the bank and fulfilling reporting requirements
* Software & Systems: Managing the Accounting Software (installations, upgrades, usage)
* Operational Support: Overseeing backups & clocking software
* Commercial Responsibilities: Assisting with product pricing spreadsheets and utility contract negotiations
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience as a Finance Manager or SME Accountant
* Background in a product-based business - ideally Manufacturing or Construction

* Solid understanding maintaining payroll, pensions and HMRC returns
* A team player with a can-do attitude - happy to roll up your sleeves when needed
