This is one of those rare opportunities where you’ll get to step into a business that’s growing rapidly, investing heavily, and genuinely values what finance can bring. 

We’re recruiting for a Finance Manager to join a values-led, product-driven company that’s scaling fast — turnover currently sits at £90m, with plans to almost double in the next few years. They're privately owned, operate internationally, and continue to invest in people, systems, and sustainability.

Why this stands out:

• It’s a business with real purpose — values-led leadership, a strong sustainability mission, and a brilliant product
• Turnover’s growing fast and so is the finance team — there’s genuine scope for progression
• A hybrid setup that works: 3 days in the office, 2 from home, and early Friday finishes
• You’ll be supported by a high-calibre CFO who are building something special
• The team culture is collaborative, down-to-earth, and focused on doing things better — not just keeping the wheels turning

The role:

You’ll take ownership of group and subsidiary management accounts and lead a small team of two Management Accountants. This is a rounded role that blends BAU with project work — roughly 50/50 — giving you exposure to both the numbers and the bigger picture.

What you’ll be doing:

• Delivering accurate and insightful monthly management accounts
• Leading all things stock: valuation, ageing, provisioning, costing
• Gross margin analysis, cost centre reviews, and product costing controls
• Coaching, supporting, and developing two Management Accountants
• Driving improvements across processes, controls, and reporting
• Working closely with the wider business and providing insight to support commercial decisions
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and project-based work alongside FP&A

What we’re looking for:

• A fully qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA or ACA)
• Background in stock-heavy, product-based environments
• Hands-on and detail-oriented, but with a commercial mindset
• Experience using ERP systems (Navision a bonus, but not essential)
• Someone confident leading others – or ready to step into a leadership role for the first time

The package:

• Salary: £55,000 – £62,000
• Bonus: Up to 10%
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Early Friday finish and hybrid working (3 days office / 2 from home)
• EV car scheme, generous staff discount, and ongoing learning & development

If you’re looking for a role where you can have real impact, with the support, headroom, and leadership to help you grow — this could be it.
