Looking for a senior finance role with real influence, without the full-time hours?
This is an opportunity to step into a newly created Finance Manager role within a fast-growing, founder-led drinks business at an exciting stage of its journey. The business is UK-based, operating with a lean, entrepreneurial team and ambitious plans for international expansion.
Finance has historically been supported externally, but the company is now bringing this capability in-house, making this a genuinely impactful role where you’ll shape processes, reporting, and decision-making from day one.
This is not a maintenance role.
This is a hands-on, commercially focused Finance Manager position where you’ll work closely with the Managing Director, owning the numbers and acting as a trusted partner to the leadership team as the business scales.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll take responsibility for the day-to-day financial management of the business, ensuring robust controls, clear reporting, and forward-looking insight.
Expect to:
* Own day-to-day financial operations, including sales tracking and cost control
* Produce monthly management accounts (P&L, balance sheet, cashflow, variance analysis)
* Build and maintain budgets and rolling cashflow forecasts
* Manage invoicing, debtors, creditors, and payment runs
* Oversee and optimise the current accounting system (SAP experience beneficial)
* Prepare statutory accounts and support year-end processes
* Deliver clear, insightful reporting to the MD to support commercial decisions
* Produce ad hoc analysis to support growth, new initiatives, and international plans
About You
You’re a qualified finance professional who enjoys being close to the business and making a visible impact. You’re comfortable operating autonomously, but collaborative in style, and commercially minded in your approach.
You’ll likely bring:
* ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualification
* Experience within drinks, FMCG, food or hospitality
* Strong management accounting, budgeting, and cashflow experience
* Confidence managing finance in a growing, entrepreneurial environment
* Excellent attention to detail with the ability to see the bigger picture
* Clear communication skills and confidence partnering with senior stakeholders
* Availability to work office-based, three days per week
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a rare chance to join a premium, high-growth business at the point where finance truly becomes central to its next phase. You’ll have real autonomy, exposure to leadership, and the opportunity to shape how finance supports the wider commercial strategy — all while maintaining part-time flexibility.
