We're working with an ambitious, early-stage company with national reach is seeking a commercially sharp and hands-on Finance Manager to take full ownership of its finance function - with a clear pathway to becoming CFO.
This is more than just managing the numbers. It's about partnering closely with the founders, bringing rigour to the finances, and helping shape the next phase of growth.
You'll be the company's first in-house finance hire, taking over from external support, so we're looking for someone who is just as comfortable in the detail as they are advising at board level.
Your Role: A Blend of Strategy & Detail
Operational Finance
* Take charge of day-to-day accounting and bookkeeping using Xero
* Manage payments, cashflow forecasting, invoicing, and bank reconciliations
* Work with external accountants to deliver VAT returns and monthly reports
* Monitor high-value stock, sales, and commissions to ensure accuracy and control
Commercial Insight & Business Partnering
* Support Directors with budgeting, analysis, and strategic financial input
* Build dashboards and models to help shape key business decisions
* Flag cost-saving opportunities and improve financial visibility across the business
Systems & Controls
* Design and implement processes from scratch - from expense management to reporting
* Put in place scalable systems and internal controls to support future growth
* Own financial governance and reduce risk through tight oversight
Who They're Looking For
* A confident and capable finance professional with a track record in SME or growth-stage environments
* Strong knowledge of Xero and excellent Excel/Google Sheets skills
* Meticulous with the detail, but commercially minded and forward-thinking
* Able to operate independently and take ownership, while influencing senior leadership
* Hungry to grow with the business and become a key voice at board level
What's on Offer
* £45,000 - £50,000 salary
* 4-day working week (Monday to Thursday)
* Base location in Cambridge with occasional UK travel
* Free on-site parking
* A rare opportunity to step into a Finance Manager role in a scaling business
* Clear route to CFO as the business continues to grow
