Job description

Finance Manager

Cirencester | £55,000 – £60,000 per annum (negotiable)

Full-time | Permanent | Office-based | Standalone Role

A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Finance Manager to join a thriving, product-led business based in Cirencester. This is a standalone, all-encompassing position – ideally suited to a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys full autonomy and thrives in a hands-on environment.

Working in a business that operates on stock ordering and credit terms, cashflow is absolutely critical – and this role plays a pivotal part in ensuring it’s tightly managed and optimised to support ongoing growth. If you enjoy being the financial heartbeat of a business and want a role where you can make a visible impact, this is the one for you.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you’ll take full responsibility for the finance function, with key duties including :

  • Managing day-to-day finance operations including accounts payable, receivable, credit control, payroll, and reconciliations
  • Closely monitoring cashflow, ensuring the business meets its obligations and is well positioned for growth
  • Producing monthly management accounts, financial reports, and regular cashflow forecasts
  • Preparing and submitting VAT returns, and working with external accountants on year-end accounts
  • Supporting strategic planning around stock purchasing, credit exposure, and supplier payments
  • Continuously improving financial processes and systems to increase efficiency and strengthen controls

Requirements

About You

We’re looking for someone who is confident taking ownership and happy operating as a one-person finance department. You’ll be naturally proactive, highly organised, and commercially aware. Key experience includes :

  • Proven background in a broad finance role within an SME, ideally in a product or stock-based business
  • Strong understanding of cashflow management and credit control
  • Excellent technical accounting skills including reconciliations and ledger management
  • Advanced Excel skills and experience with modern accounting software
  • Ability to communicate clearly and collaborate with non-finance stakeholders
  • A hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up attitude with great attention to detail
  • Benefits

    The Offer

  • Salary : £55,000 – £60,000 per annum, dependent on experience
  • Location : Cirencester (fully office-based role)
  • Hours : 40 hours per week, permanent contract
  • Start Date : May 2025 or earlier if available
  • This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a role where you’ll have real responsibility, autonomy, and influence – perfect for someone who wants to feel valued and make a difference every single day.
