Are you a commercially minded Finance Manager or Financial Controller looking for a broad role where you can genuinely influence the direction of a growing manufacturing business?
This is a 2 year Fixed Term Contract, with a view it could extend or possibly become permanent.
- What's on Offer
- Broad, varied Finance Manager position
- International group environment
- High level of exposure to senior leadership
- Opportunity to influence systems, processes and future growth
I'm working exclusively with an international manufacturing organisation seeking a qualified Finance Manager to partner closely with the UK&I Head of Finance and leadership team.
This is a varied role offering exposure across financial control, commercial finance, operations and team leadership.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a traditional month-end reporting role.
You'll take ownership of the day-to-day finance function whilst acting as a trusted business partner to senior stakeholders, providing commercial insight to support business performance and continuous improvement.
You'll also have the opportunity to develop and mentor a finance team while driving process improvements across systems, reporting and financial controls.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the month-end close and management reporting process
- Produce budgets, forecasts and cashflow forecasts
- Business partner operational managers, supporting margin analysis, costing and commercial decision making
- Take ownership of stock accounting, product costing and inventory controls
- Manage year-end audit and statutory reporting
- Oversee balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls
- Support group reporting and intercompany accounting
- Drive finance process improvements and systems enhancements
- Lead, mentor and develop the finance team
About You
You'll be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified with at least 3 years' post-qualified experience and if you have come from a manufacturing, FMCG, food or other stock-led environment, this would be highly advantageous.
You'll enjoy operating in a hands-on role and be comfortable balancing technical finance with commercial business partnering.
Experience in the following would be desirable
- Manufacturing or stock accounting
- Costing and margin analysis
- Budgeting and forecasting
- ERP systems (Sage 200 experience beneficial but not essential)
- Group reporting
Above all, we're looking for someone who enjoys improving processes, building relationships and making a genuine impact on the wider business.
If you're interested in hearing more, I'd be delighted to arrange a confidential conversation.
