Finance Manager / FC | £40,000 - £50,000 | Huddersfield
The Opportunity
Do you want to work in a big creeping corporate giant where decisions are so tightly shrouded in red tape they are becoming mummified? Do you want to bathe in the anonymity of being a faceless number on payroll? This is not for you unfortunately.
It's an all systems go owner-driven SME circa £12m turnover that is ploughing on with exciting innovation and development, winning new contracts and exploring new markets. Everyone is super visible and there is a real sense of togetherness among the workforce.
You'll be Finance Manager / FC - there's support from a consultant FD a couple of days a month (who's lovely BTW), but ultimately you'll be the right hand person for the MD & have loads of autonomy. You'll be massively appreciated & swathed in glory when you make a positive difference.
You will enjoy
The role is all aspects of the day to day financial controls and management for a growing SME. You’ll manage a small team (2.5) who support with ledger entries / processing and the basics of month end. The rest of the train set is yours. You’ll provide valuable management accounts packs to the directors and discuss insights into variances, margins, profit lines, shifts in costs / overheads etc.
The role would suit a hands on Finance Manager / FC / Company Accountant with a professional approach to adding value in a straight-talking SME.
Knowledge of a manufacturing / engineering setting would be really valuable.
You will be
- A versatile finance professional with experience as number 1 / visible number 2 in a growth SME.
- Confident in your IT skills and ideally have experience of an ERP system.
- Someone who rolls up their sleeves and works toward deadlines within limited fuss – this is role for someone who enjoys autonomy and doesn’t need micromanagement.
- Hands on and not afraid of getting stuck into the nuts and bolts – reconciliations, VAT returns, journals and adjustments.
- Someone who appreciated the bigger picture and can support the MD with decision making, budgeting, capex, forecasting etc.
There is scope to develop and grow and realistically there is route to FD for the right candidate.
