Finance Manager
Location: Peterborough (with occasional UK travel)
Salary: Competitive + Benefits
Let’s not dress it up: this isn’t just a number-crunching role.
It’s a seat at the table. A hands-on, sleeves-up, central role in the financial running of a growing UK business. If you’re looking to park yourself in spreadsheets and hide behind month-end, this one’s not for you.
You’ll be leading a small but capable finance team while partnering closely with the MD, Commercial Director, and wider business to deliver accurate, insightful, and timely reporting that drives better decisions. From audit to insurance, pensions to payroll, Sage to cyber security, you’ll have your fingerprints across every part of the financial function.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading the charge on all things finance: reporting, budgeting, forecasting, payroll, audit, VAT, pensions, you name it.
* Improving working capital and credit control, and helping turn data into smart commercial moves.
* Supporting your team’s development, embedding strong controls, and driving consistency across all finance activity.
* Managing utilities, leases, and site security contracts (yes, the real nuts and bolts stuff too).
* Working in Sage/Sage 50 and using it to extract meaningful, actionable reporting, not just throwing numbers at a board pack.
You’ll need:
* Strong financial leadership experience; ideally from a similar SME or fast-moving environment.
* Proven experience managing payroll, audit processes, monthly/annual reporting, and all the usual financial controls.
* A confident user of Sage/Sage 50
* A practical, roll-your-sleeves-up approach and an eye for both detail and the big picture.
* The ability to lead, coach, and grow a team.
This is a role for someone commercially aware, operationally savvy, and confident managing everything from Board-level reporting to building services.
