If youre the kind of finance person who enjoys challenging budgets, spotting unprofitable spending patterns, and want to make a difference to the bottom line not just ticking boxes then this would be a fantastic role for you to consider.
Were looking for a Finance Manager who enjoys reporting and becoming the person budget holders both respect and slightly fear (in a good way). Youll be the one asking the uncomfortable questions about overhead costs, digging into trends that dont add up, and driving profitable cost control.

Someone who can explain complicated financial information to non-finance people without making their eyes glaze over
Someone comfortable challenging people at a senior level on costs/spend
If youve started your career in a recognisable accountancy firm then this would be highly desirable but not essential.
