Head of Finance

Head of Finance | Manchester | £55,000 - £60,000

The Opportunity 

Do you want to work in a business that can offer the diversity, professionalism, challenge and reward of a large group but also the visibility, flexibility and work/life balance of an SME?

We are working with an agile and growing business in Manchester – they are circa £30m turnover but with plenty of moving parts and a high degree of diversity / relative complexity.  There are multiple trading channels and offerings, varied revenue streams and an interesting degree of ‘levers to pull’.

You’ll be reporting to the strategically focused FD and your role manages all aspects of the day to day financial management of the group (including line management of circa 10 employees within the finance function locally). 

There’s lots to get stuck into and it’s an environment with plenty of nuances which allow you to use your grey matter.  You’ll be business partnering a broad range of internal stakeholders with varying degrees of financial background. 

Your role is to ensure the numbers are credible and accurate (and on time) but it’s vital that your not just a ‘techy accountant’.  You need to have great communication skills and a real appetite to get out into the belly of the business to understand where you can contribute to growth, improvement and positive change. 

It’s a brilliant business and you’ll be working for a FD who really values the people around her. 

• You need to have previous experience as FC / HoF – ideally in a hands on role within a growing SME of £20-£50m turnover. 
• You’ll be a natural coach who enjoys mentoring and developing others. 
• CIMA / ACA or ACCA are required for this one. 

Great culture, awesome FD, varied role, sensible work / life balance, project involvement, autonomy, challenge … what’s not to like. 

If you are a qualified finance professional looking for a role within a business where you can make a difference then we would welcome the chance to speak.
