NXTGEN are supporting a fast-paced Manufacturing business just north of Thetford with the recruitment of a Finance Manager. This is a visible role within the organisation, giving you regular exposure to the senior leadership and executive team. As Finance Manager, you'll lead a small team responsible for the day-to-day running of finance, ensuring monthly and statutory returns are delivered accurately and on time. With the ongoing support of a Fractional Finance Director, you'll take ownership of the month-end close process and provide detailed financial insight to support business performance. Beyond the numbers, the Finance Manager will work closely with operational and commercial teams to identify efficiencies, highlight potential cost savings, and review product profitability and margins. As the business continues to evolve, you'll also have the chance to shape reporting processes and controls, ensuring they remain fit for purpose and meet the needs of the organisation.
Key responsibilities within the role will include:
- Preparation of month end Management Accounts and consolidated reports
- Delivery of the budgeting and forecasting cycle, tracking performance vs plan and identifying financial opportunities for the business
- Review commercial and operational performance of the business, analysing product margins, profitability and contract performance
- Manage and deliver rolling cashflow forecasts, ensuring the company is in a strong cash position
- Deliver all statutory fillings for the business on both a quarterly and annual basis
- Work closely with the company owner and Fractional FD to set the business strategy and financial objectives
The successful candidate will ideally be a fully qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent). Candidates who are qualified by experience with a proven background in this type of role are also encouraged to apply. You will ideally have experience working within Manufacturing or a product based background, with excellent stakeholder management and business partnering skills. Any previous experience in supplier contract management or negotiation would be significantly advantageous but not essential. This is a fantastic opportunity for those candidates who are eager to work in a broad and all encompassing Finance Manager role with a real ability to impact the future success and direction of the organisation.
Salary offered is dependent on experience and qualification.
