Burton Waters Boat Sales is one of the UK's leading boat dealers, with sites in Lincoln, Ipswich and Woodbridge. We're authorised dealers for Jeanneau, Prestige Yachts and Majesty Yachts. We're growing, and we need a hands-on individual to take ownership of our finance function and help drive the next phase of the business.
You'll lead a finance team of two and run the accounts function across the group. This is a working role, not a desk role - we need someone who'll roll their sleeves up, get into the detail, and own the numbers.
Duties
- Monthly management accounts and board reporting
- Payroll across the group
- Cashflow, forecasting and budgeting
- Day-to-day leadership of the accounts team (2 reports)
- Partnering with directors on commercial decisions
- A team player who'll drive standards and pace
- Year-end and external accountant liaison
Qualifications
- ACCA, ACA or CIMA qualified, part-qualified, or qualified by experience
- Hands-on experience running a small finance team
- Strong with Xero; CRM-integrated workflows a plus
- Accurate, organised and commercially minded — you tell us what the numbers mean, not just what they say
- A team player who'll drive standards and pace
- Marine, dealership or stock-heavy business experience welcome but not essential
- Proven Finance Manager experience is preferred, though we'll consider strong newly qualified candidates.
