Derbyshire £40,000–£48,000 Full-time
Initially a 3–6-month contract, with strong potential to become permanent.
The role is a newly created one due to the growth of this SME group of businesses. With even further growth planned, they are seeking an experienced, hands-on Finance Manager to bring extra capacity and structure to the finance function.
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will take ownership of day-to-day financial operations and lead the finance team. Priorities will be bringing records up to date, reviewing workloads and responsibilities, and introducing processes that support accurate, timely reporting.
Key responsibilities include:
• Managing, supporting and developing the finance team
• Overseeing transactional finance and ensuring deadlines are met
• Assisting in the production of monthly management accounts
• Improving controls, systems and departmental processes
• Allocating work effectively across ledgers and group companies
• Supporting accounts through to final accounts stage
• Providing clear financial information to senior management
We are open to qualified, part-qualified or qualified-by-experience applicants.
More important is your ability to hit the ground running, organise and communicate confidently with different personalities. Previous team management or supervisory experience is a bonus, but not a prerequisite, along with knowledge of Sage 50.
This role is initially office-based between Derby and Burton upon Trent, with the option to work from home one day per week once established. Condensed hours across four longer days are considered.
If you are a proactive finance professional ready to shape a growing function, we would love to hear from you
