If you’re the kind of person who prefers ownership over oversight, this will likely appeal.

There’s a certain type of Finance Manager role that suits people who enjoy structure, autonomy, and quietly getting things right – without layers of approval or unnecessary complexity. This is one of them.

You’ll be joining a growing, private equity-backed SME at a point where the finance function is being properly set up. Systems, reporting, and processes are already being put in place – so you’re not walking into chaos, but there’s still plenty of scope to refine things and make it your own.

It’s a standalone role, giving you full visibility across the numbers and the freedom to manage them end-to-end. Ideal for someone ambitious who wants to develop, learn, and grow with the business over time.

The Role: 

• Full ownership of monthly management accounts (P&L, balance sheet, and supporting schedules)
• Preparation and posting of accruals, prepayments, and journals, with a strong focus on accuracy and cut-off
• Balance sheet reconciliations and maintaining integrity across financial data
• Variance analysis against budget/forecast, with clear and meaningful commentary
• Cashflow reporting, monitoring, and supporting working capital management
• Supporting budgeting and forecasting processes
• Providing insight to support decision-making across the business
• Ledger oversight and management
• Credit control and cash collection
• Day-to-day financial management using Xero
• Continuous improvement – refining processes, strengthening controls, and ensuring finance supports the wider business effectively.

What they’re looking for: 

• Be confident producing full management accounts independently
• Be comfortable working in a standalone role with real autonomy
• Be happy getting into the detail when needed, not just reviewing it
• Have a proactive approach to improving processes
• Be ambitious and keen to develop as the business grows
• Formal qualifications aren’t essential – experience and attitude matter more here.

Why it’s worth a conversation: 

• Standalone role with genuine autonomy and ownership
• Private equity-backed business with clear growth potential
• A well-structured environment being built around you
• Hybrid working (3 days in the office) with flexibility around hours
•  A role that will become stable and manageable once embedded

If you’re looking for a role where you can take full responsibility, build your experience, and grow with a business – this is a solid opportunity.
