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
