Finance and Business Operations Manager in Cheshire, Warrington

We are partnering with a successful and growing SME to recruit an experienced Finance & Operations Manager. This is a fantastic opportunity to join the business at an exciting stage of its growth, where you'll play a key role in shaping its future success. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll become a valued member of the Senior Management Team, with the autonomy to make a real impact across the business. This is far more than a traditional finance role; you'll have the opportunity to influence operational improvements, streamline processes and contribute to strategic decision-making.
