Finance Director
£80,000 | Permanent | Ideally Full-time although Part-time may be considered
Location: Wincanton, Somerset
Are you a commercially minded Chartered Accountant who wants genuine influence, rather than simply another FD title?
This is an opportunity to join an ambitious, growing UK food manufacturing business at an exciting stage of its development.. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll have a genuine seat at the table, helping shape strategy, improve profitability, strengthen cash generation and support the next phase of growth....and this isn't a "manage from a distance" FD role. We're looking for someone who enjoys getting into the detail — someone equally comfortable discussing strategy, investment and growth with the Board as they are working alongside a small finance team to solve a day-to-day issue.
If you want responsibility, influence and the opportunity to see the direct impact of your decisions, this could be the role for you.
Why this role? - You'll have the opportunity to:
- Shape the financial strategy of a growing £7m business.
- Work directly with the Managing Director and senior leadership team.
- Influence profitability, pricing, investment and growth decisions.
- Take ownership of cash flow, working capital and banking relationships.
- Improve manufacturing and operational performance through better financial insight.
- Lead and develop a small finance team.
- Build better systems, controls, reporting and commercial processes.
- Play a key role in determining where the business goes next.
This is a role where finance is not simply a support function — you'll be a key part of the decision-making process.
What you'll be doing
You'll take overall responsibility for the finance function, balancing strategic leadership with hands-on financial management.
