Responsibilities
This is the number 1 finance role in the business, sitting as part of the Senior Leadership Team, with a genuine seat at the table.
You will lead finance for the business, with 1 direct report, working closely with the senior leadership team and reporting directly into the owner‑led business.
You will also have a dotted line into a highly regarded fractional CFO, so there is support there, but also plenty of room to make the role your own.

Key areas of responsibility include:
- Management accounts
- Project accounting
- Bill of materials
- Stock management
- Cash flow forecasting
- Foreign currency
- Management reporting
- Working closely with non‑finance stakeholders
Qualifications
What we are looking for:
- Qualified accountant – ACA, ACCA or CIMA
- Manufacturing or engineering background
- Project accounting experience
- Understanding of bill of materials
- Stock management experience
- Foreign currency exposure
- Strong Excel and management reporting skills
- Confident working with non‑finance stakeholders
- Pragmatic, hands‑on and comfortable in an SME environment
