Finance Manager

Most people work around 1800 hours a year. If you find yourself questioning whether you are truly valued then it might be time to ask why? Do you know you are capable of more but not in the right environment to flourish?

Well how about a work environment where the numbers you deliver are seen to be more than a business as usual outcome.  An environment where you will have genuine responsibility for driving business decisions.  You'll also have responsibility for a highly competent team, enthusiastic and ready to be challenged.  Based on the outskirts of Taunton, you’ll be joining a progressive business who will value your input from day one.

The key deliverables will be:

• Ensuring accurate monthly management accounts are timely and of use offering genuine insight
• Design and report on key performance indicators both financial and operational.
• Responsible for monthly financial and operational reporting for P&L, BS & Headcount
• Partner with the business to deliver quarterly budgeting and forecasting
• Ensuring reporting is robust and efficient - improving efficiencies and driving decision making
• Taking responsibility for a small but growing team
• Managing, nurturing and developing each team member as an individual

What do you need to be successful?

You will be able to demonstrate suitable accountancy experience (a relevant qualification ACA, CIMA, ACCA) and a tangible record of achievement is going to be essential to instil confidence. Experience within an SME would be advantageous – a big business background is great but this environment and its challenges are going to be different. Most importantly your personality, communication skills and approach will be essential to success. Savvy system skills, attention to detail and a record of process improvement will ensure you are well placed to add value.
