Description:
Finance Manager
Location: Reigate or Banstead, Surrey | Fully office-based
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm
Salary: Up to £50,000 depending on experience
Are you an experienced finance professional looking for an opportunity to take ownership of a finance function and make a real difference within a growing business?
We are working with an ambitious, growing SME looking to appoint a hands-on Finance Manager to oversee its day-to-day financial operations. Strong experience in budget management, financial forecasting and cashflow management is essential, alongside a solid financial accounting background.
This could be an excellent opportunity for someone who has developed their skills within a larger organisation and would now enjoy bringing that knowledge and experience into a smaller business, where they can have greater ownership, work closely with senior leadership and grow alongside the company.
Responsibilities will include:
* Managing budgets, including preparation, monitoring expenditure and analysing variances
* Preparing and maintaining financial forecasts to support effective financial planning
* Taking ownership of cashflow management, including monitoring cash positions and preparing cashflow forecasts
* Overseeing the day-to-day finance function, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting
* Preparing monthly management accounts and financial reconciliations
* Overseeing accounts payable, accounts receivable and bank reconciliations
* Managing VAT returns, payroll coordination and statutory reporting requirements
* Maintaining and improving financial controls, processes and procedures
* Providing accurate financial information and reports to senior leadership
* Supporting the continued growth of the business by ensuring the finance function remains efficient, organised and fit for purpose
The ideal candidate will have:
* At least 8 years' experience within finance or accounting, with a strong financial accounting background
* Fully qualified or part-qualified ACCA/CIMA
* Demonstrable experience across all three key areas: budget management, financial forecasting and cashflow management
* Strong technical accounting knowledge and the confidence to manage an end-to-end finance function
* Previous experience of using Xero is essential
* Excellent attention to detail, organisational and communication skills
* A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to work independently and take ownership
* The confidence to work closely with senior leadership and adapt to the needs of a smaller business
* Experience gained within a larger organisation would be particularly welcome, although candidates from SME backgrounds will also be considered
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced finance professional who enjoys being hands-on, wants genuine ownership of their work and would relish the opportunity to become an integral part of a growing business.
If you are looking for a role where you can bring your experience, make a meaningful contribution and grow with the business, we would love to hear from you
