Job Description

Finance Manager
£50,000 – £55,000 | Permanent | Full Time
Office Based | 8:30am – 4:30pm | Monday to Friday
Lead. Improve. Influence. Deliver.
We’re looking for a commercially sharp, hands-on Finance Manager who wants more than just month-end reporting.
This is a key leadership role within a fast-moving manufacturing and logistics group where finance is central to operational success. You’ll lead a small team, partner closely with production and commercial colleagues, and play a pivotal role in driving performance, improving systems, and strengthening financial control.
If you thrive in an SME environment where you can genuinely make an impact — this is your opportunity.
Why This Role Stands Out
✔ True business partnering with operations and commercial teams
✔ Ownership of finance across multiple entities
✔ Opportunity to drive process improvement and automation
✔ High visibility role with real influence on decision-making
✔ Strong operational focus — not just reporting
The Role
You’ll take ownership of the full finance function, ensuring accurate reporting, strong controls, and meaningful commercial insight.
You’ll lead:
  * Monthly management accounts and financial reporting
  * Budgeting, forecasting and long-term planning
  * Cashflow management and working capital performance
  * Payroll, pensions and statutory compliance
  * Cost accounting, production analysis and margin improvement
  * System optimisation (Microsoft Business Central)
  * Audit preparation and statutory reporting
This is a hands-on role. You’ll roll up your sleeves when needed, while also stepping back to analyse trends, improve processes and support strategic decisions.
What We’re Looking For
We want someone who:
  * Ideally has strong experience in manufacturing and logistics
  * Is confident across end-to-end finance in an SME environment
  * Ideally has advanced knowledge of Microsoft Business Central
  * Is AAT / ACCA / CIMA qualified, part-qualified, or highly experienced
  * Understands cost structures, stock, production variances and operational finance
  * Can communicate financial insight clearly to non-finance teams
  * Enjoys improving systems and reducing manual processes
  * Is driven, resilient and solutions-focused
Advanced Excel skills are essential.
What Success Looks Like
  * Timely, accurate monthly reporting
  * Improved controls and streamlined processes
  * Stronger cashflow and working capital management
  * Meaningful cost and margin improvements
  * A motivated, high-performing finance team
  * Finance recognised as a true commercial partner to the business
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated Finance Manager who wants ownership, influence and the ability to shape how finance supports operational performance.
If you’re commercially minded, systems savvy, and ready to make a measurable impact — we’d love to hear from you.
