Job description

Finance Manager

Glasgow, G52

Up to £65k, plus bonus and pension

Do you see yourself as more of a business generalist as opposed to just a pure finance professional?

Do you have the ability to bring the numbers to life and identify improvement through the production or manufacturing process?

Do you have the desire and motivation to move into broader roles, with finance your function but not your end career destination?

Reporting to the Managing Director, this highly successful and profitable manufacturing business, sub 50 people, are looking to recruit a Finance Manager to manage the function, but also to support the MD in improving the business more generally.

In a larger business this role might be called a Finance Business Partner or Financial Controller. The financial management of this business is expected to only account for 60% of your time and you’ll be hands on in all elements of this, but the real value you’ll add is by pro-actively delivering improvements, be that in material purchasing, production processes of sales analysis, or any other area of the business.

If you have the following:

• CIMA, ACCA, ACA or QBE
• Experience of working in a small manufacturing or trading business where you are hands on
• Able to demonstrate how you can support the development of the business beyond the finance function.

If this sounds like you and you’d like to work with a highly skilled and close knit team whilst benefitting from career development opportunities, please apply and if your skill sets fit we’ll be in touch to discuss.
