Finance Manager | Camberley / Hybrid |  Salary £55k

Are you a hands-on finance professional who thrives in a standalone role with room to grow?
Do you enjoy building structure, improving reporting, and being the go-to person for all things finance?

We're working with a newly acquired industrial services business in Camberley, now part of a growing private equity-backed group, to find a Finance Manager who can take ownership of the finance function and help bring capability in-house.

The Opportunity

This £4m turnover business has outsourced its finance operations until now—bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, and year-end reporting have all been handled externally. With the backing of a private equity group and a clear growth trajectory ahead, it's time to professionalise the function internally.

You'll work closely with the local Managing Director and the Group CFO to set up core systems (likely Sage), establish monthly reporting processes, and ensure sound financial governance across the board.

This is a role for someone who enjoys autonomy, is happy rolling up their sleeves, and sees the value in building things properly from the ground up.

 What You'll Be Doing

Full ownership of the general ledger and financial operations
Introducing and delivering monthly management reporting
Overseeing payroll and cashflow
Managing VAT and other HMRC submissions
Implementing a basic Sage finance system
Supporting local and group-level decision making with accurate and timely financial data
What We're Looking For

Experience running the finance function in a small, owner-led or industrial business
Comfortable being the "number one" in finance in a standalone environment
Familiarity with Sage and setting up basic finance systems from scratch is a big plus
Hands-on, proactive, and eager to grow with the business
Based near Camberley and open to a hybrid working arrangement
Why This Role?

Join a profitable, stable business entering an exciting new chapter under PE ownership
Be part of a wider group with real opportunity for career progression
Shape the finance function and make a visible impact from day one
Work closely with leadership while retaining flexibility in how and where you work
