Finance Manager

Finance Manager Cradley Heath | £45,000–£50,000 Full-time | Permanent | On-site Are you a hands-on Finance Manager who enjoys having real ownership of the numbers? We're recruiting for an established, privately owned business looking for an experienced Finance Manager to take responsibility for its day-to-day finance function. This is a broad role where you'll be close to the operational side of the business, producing accurate management information, managing cashflow and providing the financial insight needed to support commercial decision-making. You'll also manage and support an Accounts Assistant, so we're looking for someone who is equally comfortable getting into the detail and taking a wider view of business performance. What you'll be doing:

• Producing monthly management accounts
• Managing cashflow and weekly payment runs
• Overseeing purchase ledger, reconciliations and credit control
• Managing payroll, VAT and CIS returns
• Reviewing project profitability and financial performance
• Overseeing transactional finance and maintaining strong financial controls
• Supporting operational and commercial decision-making
• Managing and developing an Accounts Assistant What we're looking for:
• Strong end-to-end finance experience
• Previous experience within a Finance Manager, Management Accountant or similar hands-on role
• Confident producing management accounts
• Strong cashflow and financial control experience
• Commercially aware with excellent attention to detail
• Comfortable working within a busy, operational environment
• Previous experience managing or mentoring others Construction, contracting or project-based industry experience would be beneficial, but it is not essential. Likewise, a formal accounting qualification is welcomed but not required – relevant experience and the ability to take ownership of the finance function are much more important.
