Wellington; Office-based
40 hours per week; Monday to Friday; Permanent
£50,000 to £60,000 per annum, depending on experience
In this role you will lead the finance function and work closely with the Board of Directors and senior leadership team, providing the financial insight, commercial guidance and constructive challenge needed to support profitable growth, strong cash generation and better decision-making.
Our client is a practical, forward-thinking company that designs, programs and builds much of its own equipment internally, takes pride in doing things properly and moves quickly when good ideas emerge. It is also a stable, down-to-earth business where people stay, with many team members having been with the company for more than five years.
The role will suit a commercially minded finance leader who can see the wider business picture while remaining comfortable with the detail, explaining not just what the figures are, but what they mean, what needs attention and where the opportunities lie.
Why you'll want to join:
What You'll Be Doing
You will take responsibility for the company's financial management, reporting, controls and commercial analysis, while acting as a trusted business partner to the Board of Directors.
Your role will include:
Because the role combines strategic responsibility with hands-on financial leadership, it will suit someone who is equally comfortable discussing business performance with the Board of Directors and getting into the detail when something in the figures does not look right.
What You'll Bring
You will need to be a qualified Accountant, holding an ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent recognised qualification, with previous experience in a senior finance leadership role.
You should also bring:
Experience within a growing SME would be particularly valuable. In addition to leading the finance function, you will help shape the continued development of our client's Simpro ERP platform, driving process improvements, automation, and enhanced management reporting. Previous experience supporting acquisitions, integration projects, system improvements, or periods of significant business growth would be a distinct advantage.
This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants more than responsibility for the finance department alone. With the opportunity to influence the wider business, improve how financial information is used and help make well-informed decisions as it grows. xwwtmva
As part of the application process, you will be asked to complete a short online questionnaire which takes approximately 10 minutes. This helps both you and our client understand whether the role, working style and requirements are likely to be a strong mutual fit.
