Head of Finance
Location: Bradford, West Yorkshire (On-site)
Salary: Up to £80,000 + bonus + benefits
Your pathway to Finance Director starts here.
Imagine working in a business where finance isn't just a back-office function but the engine room. A business where the CFO is highly respected, and teams from production, sales, and operations regularly seek finance for advice, support, and ideas. A place where finance leads the strategy, not just reports it.
This high-growth SME manufacturing business has quadrupled in size to £30m turnover. This newly created role is designed to give you the full exposure and experience needed to become a Finance Director in practice. You will work closely with a CFO passionate about mentorship, developing future leaders, and pushing the boundaries of finance through AI, automation, and data-driven insights.
Why this, why now?
* The CFO’s success is your blueprint. Having demonstrated finance as a true business partner across ESG, procurement, IT, Health & Safety, and more, the CFO is committed to investing in your career development.
* Big projects, real impact. Overhauling Sage 200 systems, embedding Microsoft CoPilot, unlocking new markets, exploring JV opportunities—your fingerprints will be on every strategic move.
* A culture where people stay. Low staff turnover, long tenures, and a strong sense of loyalty and pride. You’ll join a place where people don’t just survive—they thrive.
* Room to bring your ideas. The company values innovation over tradition. If you have drive and imagination, your ideas will be heard.
Who we re looking for:
* Qualified ACA, ACCA, or CIMA accountant.
* Commercially astute, technically strong, and ready to lead.
* Enthusiastic about innovation, especially AI and automation in finance.
* Ambitious, ideas-led, seeking a role with autonomy and growth opportunities.
