We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established and highly respected machinery retailer with a supportive team culture and a genuine commitment to looking after its people. This is a business where employees stay for years. As the company continues to grow, there is an opportunity for an experienced Finance Manager to take ownership of the finance function and play a key role in the continued success of the business.

You’ll oversee the day-to-day running of the finance function while working closely with senior management and colleagues across the wider business.

This is a varied, hands-on role offering genuine responsibility and autonomy, with the opportunity to develop and improve financial processes as the business continues to grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the day-to-day finance function across the business
• Oversee purchase ledger, sales ledger and general finance activities
• Manage and monitor cashflow, outstanding debt and customer accounts
• Oversee bank, supplier and control account reconciliations
• Manage month-end processes and prepare management accounts and financial reports
• Provide accurate financial information and reporting to senior management
• Monitor business performance, costs and margins and provide financial insight where required
• Support budgeting, forecasting and cashflow planning
• Act as the key point of contact for external accountants, auditors and professional advisers
• Prepare information for year-end accounts and other financial reporting requirements

• Ensure appropriate financial controls and procedures are maintained
• Identify opportunities to improve finance processes, systems and reporting

About You

We're looking for an experienced and commercially minded finance professional who is comfortable taking ownership and working across a broad range of financial responsibilities.

You’ll be organised, proactive and confident working independently, while also being a strong team player who can build positive relationships with colleagues, suppliers, customers and external advisers.

We're looking for:

• Previous experience in a Finance Manager, Management Accountant or similar senior finance role
• Strong understanding of financial processes, controls and reporting
• Experience overseeing purchase ledger, sales ledger and credit control
• Experience with month-end processes and management accounts
• Experience working with external accountants or professional advisers
• Experience using finance or ERP systems (such as Sage, Exchequer, SAP, Dynamics, Kerridge or similar)
• Experience using IBCOS Gold would be advantageous, although this is by no means essential
• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills
• Ability to prioritise workloads and meet deadlines
• Strong communication skills and a positive, team-focused attitude

What's on Offer?

• Salary of £40,000-£45,000, depending on experience
• A secure, long-term position within a successful, growing business
• Genuine ownership and autonomy over the finance function
• The opportunity to work closely with senior management
• Friendly, supportive and welcoming working environment
• Performance-related Christmas bonus (awarded at the company's discretion)
