Provide guidance to managers on HR policies and procedures.

Previous experience in a Finance Manager, Financial Controller or similar senior finance position.
Experience within an SME environment.
Strong management accounting and financial reporting skills.
Good working knowledge of Xero accounting software.
Experience of invoice finance facilities would be advantageous.
Previous exposure to HR responsibilities would be beneficial but is not essential.
Commercially aware with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Hands-on, organised and able to work independently.

Salary of £48,000 - £55,000, depending on experience.
25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
Company pension.
On-site parking.
Early finish on Fridays.
Opportunity to work closely with the Managing Director and influence key business decisions.
Friendly, supportive SME environment where your contribution will have real visibility and impact.
