* Strategic planning - Influence operational and commercial decision-making

What We’re Looking For

You will ideally:
* Be ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified
* Have experience in a senior finance role within an SME environment
* Bring exposure to manufacturing and/or international trading (highly desirable)
* Have strong Excel and systems skills
* Be proactive, collaborative, and comfortable challenging stakeholders
* Want to make a genuine impact rather than simply “report the numbers”
* Personality fit is important — this business values energy, curiosity, relationship-building, and a positive approach.
Why Apply?
* Join an ambitious business on a genuine growth trajectory
* Senior Leadership Team exposure and influence
* Opportunity to shape processes and strategy
