Finance Manager

Jackson Hogg are delighted to be exclusively partnering with a well-known business looking to appoint a newly created Finance Manager with genuine scope and autonomy. In this role you’ll own the finance function for a business unit, lead a small team, and work directly with the Finance Director to drive change, improve systems, and deliver meaningful insight to the business.

This is a chance to put your stamp on a growing organisation — shaping processes, improving controls, analysing costs, and creating the financial clarity that supports key decisions. You’ll be the go-to for accurate financials, cash management, and performance reporting, while also developing management information and detailed board packs that drive better decision-making.

What you’ll be doing:

• Full ownership of day-to-day finance – invoicing, AR, AP, banking, and controls
• Manage, coach, and develop a small team to deliver high-quality, timely outputs
• Produce accurate monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cashflow reporting
• Partner with the FD to implement better systems, reporting tools, and KPIs
• Analyse costs, track variances, and highlight opportunities for savings and efficiency gains
• Develop clear management information and board packs to support strategic decisions
• Lead balance sheet reconciliations and maintain the fixed asset register
• Prepare and submit VAT and CIS returns
• Support forecasting, budgeting, and ad-hoc commercial projects

You’ll need to bring:

• Solid experience in a Finance Manager or similar leadership role
• Proven ability to manage and motivate small teams
• Strong technical accounting skills and a commercial mindset
• A proactive, hands-on approach with the confidence to challenge and improve

Why this role stands out:

• Newly created – make it your own from day one
• Direct access to the Finance Director – a real voice in shaping the function
• Autonomy to drive change and leave your mark on a growing business
