You’ll be joining a thriving business – a profitable and expanding £40m turnover group with an ambitious and talented leadership team.

You’ll be close to the action – this isn’t an “ivory tower / helicopter view” FC role – it’s managing a small team and being close to the action.

You need to be someone who enjoys bringing in automation and driving modern thinking – someone proactive and commercially astute who enjoys streamlining process, using modern tech and striving for optimization.

You’ll be a natural business partner who enjoys getting out into the belly of the business to understand where the numbers are born from, the real story and how the numbers can be used to suggest and deliver positive change.

There’s chance to make a real difference here – shape and develop the reporting and MI to supercharge ongoing growth and success. It’s a stable, secure and aspirational group with a strong track record and excellent investment.

You need:

• To be an experienced Finance Manager / Financial Controller / Head of Finance with a hands on approach.

• Confidence in your ability to produce and deliver highly credible management accounts packs including insightful commentary.
