Finance Manager, Financial Accounting (part time)

Galeta is one of the UK’s fastest-growing wholesale bakeries. We’re looking for a world-class Head of Finance to lead our finance function and help take the business through its next stage of growth. You’ll work directly with the MD and board, manage a small but capable team, and take ownership of everything from factory-floor reporting to high-level financial strategy. This is a senior leadership role with a clear path to becoming Finance Director. You’ll lead the entire finance function, covering operational finance in manufacturing as well as AP, AR, FP&A and cashflow across the group. ● You’ll manage and support a tight team of three: an AP lead, an AR lead, and a Finance Manager. ● You’ll be the key finance partner to the MD and senior leadership team, helping guide decisions, improve performance and prepare the business for future scale—and potential sale. ● You’ll ensure the numbers are right, the controls are tight, and the reporting is useful, timely and commercial. ● You’ll own budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning and margin analysis, ensuring we stay profitable as we grow. ● You’ll lead audits, compliance and tax processes, and make sure we’re fit for purpose as a £multi-million food business. ● You’ll also shape the future of our finance systems—working with Sage 200 and helping build out a best-in-class ERP and tech stack that works for a modern manufacturing business. Experience with Katana or similar tools is a real bonus. You’ve already been a Financial Controller or Head of Finance in a fast-moving business, ideally within food or manufacturing. ● You understand the challenges of multi-site, high-volume operations—and how to build financial processes that support them. ● You’re systems-savvy and excited to help us build a modern finance stack that scales with the business. ● 100,000 base salary + performance bonus. ● Full-time, permanent role with immediate start. ● Based across our London head office and bakery locations. ●
