Keen on advancing your finance career - step into this brilliant Finance Manager role
West Yorkshire High-Performing Manufacturing Business. An attractive opportunity has arisen for a commercially astute Finance Manager to join a well-established manufacturing business undergoing continued investment and growth. This is a key leadership-facing role, offering strong visibility, genuine influence, and the chance to play a central part in driving operational and financial performance.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will act as a business partner to site leadership, combining strong financial control with commercial insight. Key responsibilities will include:
* Leading month‑end close and management reporting, delivering clear and actionable insight
* Owning balance sheet integrity, reconciliations, and audit readiness
* Partnering closely with operations to challenge costs, improve performance, and drive efficiencies
* Leading budgeting and forecasting, providing robust assumptions and scenario analysis
* Supporting capital investment decisions and maintaining strong governance across spend
* Developing and mentoring a direct report, ensuring high standards and continuous improvement
Is this right for you?
* You’ll be a confident, qualified accountant who thrives in a fast‑paced, hands‑on environment:
* Possess a strong grounding in management reporting, controls, and forecasting
* Confident partnering with and challenging non-finance stakeholders
* Commercially aware, with the ability to translate numbers into insight
* Organised, detail‑focused, and proactive in approach
* Manufacturing or operational experience beneficial, but not essential
* You’ll manage one direct report in this role – previous experience is advantageous, but not essential if you’re ready to take your first step into leadership.
This role offers the chance to move beyond traditional finance responsibilities into a position where you will actively shape performance, influence outcomes, and add real commercial value. If you’re someone ambitious, driven, and keen to build a long‑term career within a dynamic and evolving environment, this could be the ideal opportunity.
