Leeds | £35,000-£40,000 | Hybrid (2 days office)
Run the engine room. Actually be in charge of it.
This is for someone who's done their time in transactional finance and is done being told how the process should work, they want to be the one deciding it. Our client, a growing business in Leeds, needs someone to take ownership of the full AP/AR cycle, payroll, and a small team, and make it run properly.
You won't be buried in data entry. You'll be the person making sure the two people who are doing the data entry are doing it right, on time, and without drama, while you handle the HMRC submissions, pension uploads, and the odd fire that needs putting out.
You'll be:
Leading and developing a small transactional finance team (2 direct reports)
Managing AP and AR end-to-end, with real ownership of controls and accuracy
Overseeing payroll, HMRC, pensions, the lot
Supporting month-end and fielding the finance queries that land on your deskYou'll need:
Proven experience managing transactional finance processes, not just performing them
Comfortable leading a small team, this is a step up, not a lateral move
Payroll exposure (HMRC and pension processes specifically)
The kind of person who fixes a broken process rather than working around it foreverWhy this one's worth your time: businesses are actively repositioning this kind of role around oversight and control rather than processing, which means you're building a career that gets more valuable as automation handles the grunt work, not less.
Search is an equal opportunities recruiter and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified applicants, regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age
