Finance Manager - Leeds

What's on offer?

• £50,000 - £55,000
• Hybrid working with 2 days in the office
• Fantastic Leeds city centre location
• PE backed business with real career progression
• Private medical
• 25 days holiday plus statutory days, with 3 additional days off at Christmas
• Electric vehicle scheme

If you're a qualified accountant who loves getting under the skin of numbers, takes real pride in clean accounts, and wants a role where your work genuinely matters, this role was built for you.

Campbell Grove Talent are exclusively recruiting for a Finance Manager on behalf of a private equity backed business based in Leeds city centre, and they're looking for someone to take real ownership of their month end reporting cycle. This isn't a role where you'll be a small cog in a big machine. You'll be hands-on, visible, and making a real difference to how the finance function runs.

What you'll be doing:

• Owning the monthly management accounts from close right through to Board reporting
• Overseeing and supervising the transactional finance team
• Reviewing current processes and implementing improvements to enhance how finance operates
• Partnering with senior stakeholders, appropriately challenging where necessary
• Supporting with budgeting, forecasting, and reviewing margins across revenue streams

You'll also own the core technical deliverables: balance sheet reconciliations, VAT returns, and in time, leading the audit process under the guidance of the Head of Financial Control - a great opportunity to grow your technical skillset.

The role doesn't come with direct reports from day one, but there's a clear path to people management for the right person.

Who are we looking for?

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
• Either from practice and ready to make your first move into industry, or already in a similar role and looking for a step up
• Strong Excel skills, a sharp eye for detail, and the confidence to work independently
• Someone who can confidently own the month end process and lead process improvement projects
