Finance Manager (South)

Do you enjoy owning the numbers and being the trusted finance voice for operations? Are you confident in leading teams while keeping tight control of multi-site financial reporting? Do you want a finance role where accuracy, insight, and integrity truly matter?

Here at GXO, we’re looking for a Finance Manager to lead and strengthen the management accounting function across three NHS contract sites in the South of the UK (Bridgwater, Bury St. Edmunds and Maidstone). You’ll be a trusted finance partner to the Regional General Manager, accountable for delivering accurate, timely, and insightful financial information. With direct responsibility for month-end close, balance sheet integrity, and team leadership, this role is fundamental to maintaining confidence in the numbers and enabling operational leaders to make informed decisions.

This is a full-time, permanent role, working on a hybrid basis, with 3 days on-site and 2 days working from home. You will be working Monday to Friday, 09:00 till 17:00. However, flexibility is required, this is logistics after all!

Pay, benefits and more:

We’re looking to offer a salary of up to £60,000 per annum, and 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays). Your benefits package includes a £5,400 car allowance, a company sponsored pension scheme, private medical & dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme. You’ll also have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Produce consolidated, customer-facing regional management accounts, including clear narrative, variance analysis, risks, and opportunities.
• Own the month-end close process for three sites, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and adherence to deadlines, supported by your team.
• Maintain the integrity of site P&Ls and balance sheets, supported by clear documentation and reconciliations.
• Support the preparation of annual budgets and periodic re-forecasts, ensuring robust assumptions and accurate phasing.
• Partner closely with site leaders to understand operational and financial performance drivers.

• Strong management accounting experience, including full ownership of month-end close.
• Hands-on experience preparing and reviewing monthly balance sheet reconciliations.
• Previous experience leading, mentoring, or developing finance team members.
