Job Description
Finance Manager - Exeter - £50-55,000
Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been exclusively re-engaged by a long standing client whose business is experiencing phenomenal growth! The company operates in an exciting area of the technology sector and boasts a range of ground breaking products that really put them at the forefront of their specialism. With a host of high profile customers and a rapidly expanding order book, the company is certain to continue on a journey of continued expansion, hence the need to recruit an experienced Finance Manager. The role is offered as a full time, permanent contract to be based at the company HQ in the Sowton area of Exeter.
Working closely with the company’s CFO and as part of a small but growing finance team, this will be a wide-ranging role where the successful candidate will play a key role in the operational controls of the finance function. Key responsibilities to include:
- Work closely with the CFO, finance team and wider panel of stakeholders to develop KPIs and financial analysis to support strategic decision making
- Finance business partnering
- FP&A, forecasting and budgeting
- Implement and develop robust controls to control and mitigate financial risk
- Production of high quality management accounts with associated commentary
- Develop and implement streamlining initiatives to improve financial efficiencies
- Regularly liaise with external stakeholders and corporate entities
- Ensure statutory reporting compliance (VAT, payroll, and statutory accounts)
- Support the CFO and SMT on a range of ongoing and future projects
For this role we seek a talented and highly motivated Finance Manager with a high level of commercial awareness and the ability to report at board level, as well as rolling up their sleeves where required. Applicants may be professionally part/fully qualified (ideally CIMA/ACCA/ACA), though candidates that possess sufficient vocational experience will be given equal consideration, particularly if gained within a start-up and/or technology focussed business. The role is somewhat FP&A focussed so experience in this area would be highly desirable, as would experience in general finance business partnering. This is an opportunity where disposition and work ethic will be key as you’ll be working as part of fast paced and passionate team. The business is highly technology driven so applicants should possess excellent IT aptitude in traditional and modern digital accounting systems.
