Job Description
Finance Manager
Location: Leicestershire
Salary: £70,000 - £80,000
Overview:
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Finance Manager to join a successful and expanding housebuilder based in Leicestershire. Reporting to the Finance Director, this is a key role responsible for ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and compliance of all financial reporting while providing meaningful management information to support business performance.
This position will suit a technically strong and hands-on finance professional who enjoys leading the full finance cycle - from statutory reporting and audit through to management accounts and business partnering - within a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
Key Responsibilities:
* Take ownership of the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting cycle, ensuring compliance with accounting standards and internal controls.
* Lead on the preparation of statutory accounts, audit files, and year-end processes, working closely with external auditors.
* Produce accurate and timely management accounts, board packs, and variance analysis to support decision-making.
* Maintain robust balance sheet reconciliations, control accounts, and financial governance across all entities.
* Manage budgeting, forecasting, and cashflow to ensure strong financial discipline and visibility.
* Partner with operational and commercial teams to provide insight into project performance and profitability.
* Drive process and system improvements to enhance reporting efficiency and financial control.
* Manage and develop a small finance team, fostering a culture of accuracy, accountability, and professional growth.
* Support the Finance Director with strategic initiatives, tax and audit compliance, and system developments.
About You:
* Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with strong post-qualification experience.
* Proven background as a Finance Manager or Financial Controller, ideally within housebuilding, construction, or a related sector.
* The ideal candidate will come from an audit background, seeking their first or second move into industry. However, experience within the construction or housebuilding sector - either through your audit portfolio or direct industry exposure - is essential.
* Solid technical grounding in financial and statutory accounting, with experience managing audits and producing year-end accounts.
* Strong management accounting and analytical skills, with commercial awareness.
* Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.
* Highly organised, detail-driven, and proactive.
* Advanced Excel and ERP system experience.
What's on Offer:
* Competitive salary between £70,000 - £80,000, depending on experience.
* Opportunity to take ownership of the financial reporting process within a growing, ambitious housebuilder.
* Direct exposure to senior leadership and involvement in strategic planningBefore You Apply
