My client, an expanding group of companies is keen to appoint a qualified Finance Manager into a divisional role.
Reporting into the Group Financial Controller, you will manage a small finance team and partner with a designated Division and be fully accountable for the finance function in that business area with the support of a small team.
Responsibilities include:
- To lead the processing and production of accounts for the Division including cash flow forecasting and related analysis.
- Production of P&L, balance sheets and business forecasts and the identification of balance sheet improvements.
- Responsible for producing Statutory Accounts for multiple businesses in the Division.
- Ensure the Division complies with relevant statutory and industry regulations and requirements (VAT, PAYE and CIS).
- Work with the Directors to prepare divisional budgets including providing 'what if’ scenario planning and independent challenge.
- Support Divisional Directors in ensuring accurate business reporting and good operational/cost control.
- Identify potential process and system improvements, taking recommendations to the Group Financial Controller, Group Finance Director and senior executives prior to driving through the approved developments.
- Recruit, coach, develop and manage the performance of a small team.
- Ensure the transactional processes are being performed in a timely and professional manner.
- Participate in or lead business projects i.e. strategic planning, acquisitions and integration, new system implementations etc.
This is a challenging role which is crucial within both group finance and the division. It is a broad role involving hands on management and financial accounts reporting through to advising and partnering with divisional directors on their business strategy. It will suit a resilient candidate who is both hands on in their approach, with strong business partnering skills and the ability to advise senior management at a strategic level.
Role will suit a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA), with up to 2 years PQE, with a proven track record of management / financial accounting and experience of managing and coaching other finance team members.
You will have an analytical mind with excellent attention to detail and have a strong flair for systems development (advanced Excel is a must). Previous experience of acquisition integration would be advantageous but not essential.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a continually expanding business into a pivotal and important role with genuine prospects for future growth.
