Aylesbury (4 days in the office, 1 from home)
£60K - £70k + Bonus and Benefits
Our client, is a fast-growing UK operating business that has scaled rapidly and is now building a management team capable of supporting the next phase of growth.
The group currently operates multiple trading businesses with a clear and well-funded plan to double its turnover within the next 3 years. Significant investment is being made in people, systems and infrastructure to support this ambition.
As part of this journey, the business is implementing an outsourced finance function offshore and is now seeking a Finance Manager to take ownership of UK finance operations and act as the senior financial operator within the management team.
This is a rare role offering genuine breadth, responsibility and progression, reporting to the Directors and working closely with a highly experienced CFO. You will sit alongside these operational leaders and have real influence over commercial and strategic decisions - this is not a back-office reporting role.

* Cashflow forecasting, working capital management and banking relationships
* Budgeting, forecasting and commercial analysis to support growth decisions
* VAT, statutory compliance and liaison with external accountants/auditors
* Oversight and management of the outsourced finance provider (processes, SLAs, controls and quality)
* Development of KPIs, dashboards and financial insight for non-finance stakeholders
* Continuous improvement of systems, controls and automation
Candidate Profile:
* Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
* Ideally 1-3 years post-qualification experience
* Background in SME, fast-growth or operationally focused environments
* Ambitious, hands-on and keen to accelerate career development
* Commercially minded with the confidence to work closely with senior stakeholders
On Offer:
* Clear path to progress as the business scales over the next 3 years.
* Exposure to strategic decision-making and senior leadership.
* Mentorship from an experienced and highly successful CFO / Company Director
* Opportunity to help build a finance function rather than inherit one
* Stable, profitable business with genuine growth momentum.
