Finance Director / CFO - SME Manufacturing – Leeds
We’re supporting a well-established SME manufacturing business in Leeds with the appointment of an experienced Finance Director / CFO.
This is a key leadership hire for the business and an opportunity to take ownership of the finance function while playing a broader role in the ongoing development and performance of the company.
Working closely with the CEO and senior leadership team, the successful individual will provide both financial leadership and commercial support across the business. The role will suit someone who is equally comfortable operating at board level and getting into the detail when required.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Leading and developing the finance function
- Financial planning, budgeting and forecasting
- Cash flow and working capital management
- Providing clear financial and commercial insight to support decision-making
- Improving financial controls, reporting and internal processes
- Working closely with operational teams to improve performance and profitability
- Supporting the development and delivery of the wider business strategy
- Managing relationships with banks, auditors, advisers and other external stakeholders
- Providing leadership on commercial, investment and business-critical decisions
We’re looking for an experienced finance leader with a strong track record operating at FD or CFO level, ideally within an SME environment.
Experience within manufacturing, engineering, industrial or another operationally focused business would be particularly relevant, as would a practical, commercially minded approach and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment.
This is an urgent hire, so candidates who are immediately available or able to start at relatively short notice are particularly encouraged to get in touch.
Role: Finance Director / CFO
Sector: Manufacturing / Industrial
