3. Forecasting & Budgeting

• Produce the annual budget, working with other departments to gather information and compile figures.
• Reforecast budgets periodically to reflect actual activity and support cash planning.
• Analyse actual and forecast budget trends, advising management on areas that require attention.

4. Line Management

• Manage the finance team on a day-to-day basis, including allocating work, setting priorities, supporting development, conducting appraisals and ensuring high standards of accuracy, accountability and customer service across the finance function.
• Identify and deliver improvements across the finance function, using a technology-first approach to create more efficient processes, stronger controls and a finance department that acts as a proactive service provider to the rest of the business.

5. Systems

• Support and develop the finance function with a technology-first approach, making full use of system capabilities wherever possible to improve efficiency and speed up processes.
• Build on existing efforts to automate the finance function, reducing administrative tasks and creating more time for value-added financial planning and analysis (FP&A).

• International trading experience and confidence dealing with overseas customers and suppliers.
• Experience working in a company of comparable size.
• Excellent attention to detail, reporting and communication skills.
• Strong commercial curiosity and a commitment to understanding what the numbers say about business performance, identifying opportunities for improvement and communicating those insights clearly to colleagues across the business.
• Proven ability to lead, coach and motivate a small finance team, setting clear expectations, maintaining high standards and creating a positive, accountable team environment.
• Personal integrity and an understanding of the confidential nature of the role.
• Ambition to see the role and company develop and to grow with it.

The Opportunity

Our finance function has a vital role to play in the success of our business, and this appointment is specifically designed to provide the resource and skills needed to achieve this.

We have invested heavily in new systems to achieve our long-term strategic goals, with finance at the forefront of our ambition to build a technology-first department that is best in class. The first phase of the system went live in March 2026. This role will be heavily involved in supporting the design and implementation of the next phases.

The Finance Director sits across both finance and systems, with an increasing focus on strategic priorities. This role has therefore been created for a strong number two who can be trusted to manage the finance department on a day-to-day basis, lead the team effectively, maintain robust controls and support the longer-term finance and systems roadmap.

This role would suit a newly qualified accountant currently operating as a Finance Manager, or an experienced finance professional ready to step fully into a Finance Manager role. The ideal candidate will be confident managing the day-to-day finance operation, leading a small team and taking ownership of stock accounting, while having the ambition and capability to progress towards Finance Director or CFO level in the future.
