Finance Manager - Succession plan to FC
£50,000 – £60,000
CIMA / ACCA / ACA + manufacturing background
Looking for a Finance Manager role where you’re genuinely invested in — and developed into a future Financial Controller?
This is that kind of move.
You’ll be joining a genuinely people-first business — a manufacturing company leading the way in innovation and sustainability within its niche.
Retention is high. People rarely leave.
Why? Because they feel looked after, supported, and part of something.
And you’ll report into an FD who makes your growth a priority — not just in theory. He’s got multiple examples of accountants he’s mentored, coached, and promoted.
And now he wants to do the same for you.
Here’s what’s in it for you:
- Structured development into FC — coached by an FD with a strong track record of growing finance talent.
- Exposure beyond the numbers — you’ll join a newly created senior leadership steering group with managers from Ops, Tech, and Manufacturing to solve cross-functional business challenges.
- Full-spectrum finance — from oversight of the transactional team to monthly reporting, budgeting, forecasting, year-end, and more.
- Commercial depth — work on projects around waste, recoveries, costings, sales, margins, and performance improvement.
- A culture that retains talent — because people here feel respected, empowered, and part of something bigger.
- A company with purpose and sustainability as a key strategic pillar — sustainability isn’t a bolt-on; it’s a business priority.
This role is ideal for:
✅ A qualified (CIMA, ACCA, ACA) — or qualified-by-experience — accountant
✅ With manufacturing industry background
✅ Who’s ready to step into a broader, more strategic Finance Manager role — and grow into FC
✅ And who wants autonomy, impact, and a genuinely enjoyable place to work
