Finance Manager | Halifax | £40,000 - £50,000 | Hybrid (3 days in)
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
There's also an ongoing focus on 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.
