Financial Director

Finance Director | £90,000 - £120,000 + Bonus + Benefits Surrey We're partnering with an established and highly profitable high-tech manufacturing and engineering business to appoint a Finance Director as part of its senior leadership team. With revenues in the region of £10m-£20m, this is a highly visible role offering the opportunity to take ownership of the finance function whilst acting as a trusted adviser to the Managing Director and wider leadership team. This is a broad leadership role, combining strategic input with hands-on operational responsibility in a growing and technically sophisticated business environment. Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop the finance function, taking ownership of the full finance operation including financial reporting, controls, transactional finance, payroll and day-to-day finance processes
• Deliver timely and insightful management information to support decision-making
• Own budgeting, forecasting, cashflow management and financial planning activities
• Partner closely with the Managing Director and leadership team on commercial and strategic matters
• Support business growth initiatives through financial analysis and investment appraisal
• Drive continuous improvement across finance processes, systems and reporting
• Contribute to broader operational and business improvement initiatives as a member of the senior leadership team The Candidate The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant with experience ideally gained within a product-led, operationally complex business (e.g. manufacturing, engineering, distribution, supply chain). Applicants may already be operating at Finance Director level or be an ambitious Head of Finance or Financial Controller ready to step into a broader leadership role. Experience within a business of comparable scale would be advantageous, as would the ability to be both hands-on and commercially minded. You will be equally comfortable partnering with senior stakeholders on strategic matters whilst retaining ownership of the day-to-day finance operation. The ability to start quickly would be highly advantageous.
