Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, the successful individual will take ownership of a broad finance remit spanning management accounting, financial control, transactional oversight and team development, whilst also playing an important role in shaping how the finance function evolves. The business is keen to continue modernising its finance processes and there will be genuine scope for the Finance Manager to challenge existing ways of working and explore how automation, technology and AI can be incorporated into day-to-day processes. The objective is not simply automation for automation's sake, but identifying practical opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, controls and the quality of financial information. Alongside this improvement agenda, the fundamentals of the finance function remain critically important. The Head of Finance is looking for someone who brings real rigour to their day-to-day operating rhythm; someone who is disciplined around deadlines, reconciliations, controls and financial close, takes ownership of their responsibilities and consistently maintains high standards of accuracy. This person will become a trusted number two to the Head of Finance and, over time, will be encouraged to take on broader responsibilities across the function.

Oversee client and third-party transactions, settlements and associated financial controls. Oversee VAT calculations, returns and other statutory or regulatory reporting requirements. Support audit processes and ensure appropriate supporting documentation and controls are maintained. Manage and develop a junior accountant, allocating responsibilities, reviewing output and supporting their continued professional development. Provide effective review and sign-off of work produced within the team. Identify opportunities to improve month-end, reconciliation, reporting and transactional finance processes. Review how existing technology is being utilised and identify opportunities to introduce greater automation. Explore practical applications for AI and emerging technology within the finance function to reduce manual processes and improve efficiency. Continually strengthen the quality, consistency and efficiency of financial reporting and controls. Work closely with the Head of Finance, increasingly taking ownership of broader responsibilities and acting as a dependable second point of leadership within the function. Build effective relationships across the wider organisation and provide clear, accurate financial information to support decision-making. The successful Finance Manager will have: Finalist or newly qualified CIMA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualification. A minimum of 3 years' experience gained within a commercial finance environment. Strong management accounting and financial reporting experience. Excellent understanding of balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls. Experience of managing a disciplined month-end process and working to defined reporting deadlines. Experience of VAT and statutory or regulatory reporting. Previous experience of managing, supervising or mentoring junior finance staff. The ability to establish and maintain a consistent and rigorous operating rhythm. High levels of ownership and accountability, with the confidence to see issues through to resolution. The ability to review existing processes critically rather than simply accepting that "this is how it has always been done". An interest in technology, automation and the evolving use of AI within finance. A continuous improvement mindset with the ability to identify practical efficiencies. The ambition and capability to develop into a broader finance leadership position over time. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has established a strong technical foundation but now wants greater ownership, visibility and influence.
