Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and commercially minded Finance Manager to join a well-established, forward-thinking business near Inverurie. This is more than just a traditional finance role, it’s a chance to step into a genuinely business-facing, value-adding position where finance plays a key role in driving strategic decisions.

The business has recently undergone a period of positive change. As a result, this Finance Manager role has been reshaped to focus on business partnering, FP&A and strategic support – rather than purely reporting. You’ll be part of a collaborative team, working directly with the Finance Director and supporting a group of finance colleagues.

Your key responsibilities:

• Playing a central role in guiding and supporting business strategy.
• Leading change projects, including integrating potential acquisitions, evolving financial systems, managing investment processes, capex evaluation, and ROI analysis.
• Collaborating closely with senior management to prepare and present capital business plans.
• Delivering clear, data-driven insights to support growth and performance targets.
• Acting as a Finance Business Partner, engaging with stakeholders across the organisation.
• Challenging assumptions, providing meaningful analysis, and identifying opportunities to drive revenue through smarter reporting and automation.
• Helping shape and refine business processes, translating them into practical IT solutions to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
• Mentoring and developing Junior Finance Team members, supporting their skills and confidence development.
• Taking ownership of producing accurate and timely financial statements, including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow forecasts, and annual budgets.
• Leading detailed analysis on cash generation, profitability, and return on capital employed.
• Overseeing regular balance sheet reconciliations and stock and fleet checks.
• Working with Group Tax and Finance to prepare statutory accounts and ensure tax compliance.
• Supporting internal audits to manage business risk and maintain robust controls.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience in a similar business facing role.
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset and natural curiosity.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Quick to pick up new systems, tools and information.
• Clear and confident communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Self-motivation and the confidence to work on your own initiative.
• Strong skills in Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook (intermediate to advanced level).

What’s on offer:

• A truly business-facing finance role where your ideas and insight will be valued.
• Flexibility to support work-life balance.
• An inclusive and supportive culture with opportunities to grow your career.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
