Exclusive to Robert Half Interviews being arranged for next week

A hands-on Finance Manager role where no two days are the same.

Robert Half is exclusively representing a well-established, owner-managed manufacturing business in Sutton Coldfield as they appoint a Finance Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day finance function and lead a small team.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being close to the numbers and close to the business. You'll have genuine ownership across the finance function, working closely with the Managing Director and getting involved across management accounts, forecasting, stock, costs and commercial performance.

If you're looking for a varied Finance Manager position where you can make a tangible contribution rather than being one small part of a large finance structure, this could be a strong fit.

• Managing and understanding WIP and cost of sales
• Analysing margins and profitability
• Providing the Managing Director with clear and reliable financial information
• Supporting the business with financial analysis and decision-making
• Managing and developing a small finance team
• Ensuring robust financial controls and accurate reporting are maintained

What we're looking for

The successful candidate is likely to have:

• Previous experience in a Finance Manager or similar hands-on finance role
• Strong manufacturing finance experience
• A thorough understanding of inventory, stock control and WIP
• Strong knowledge of margin analysis and cost of sales
• Proven experience preparing management accounts, budgets and forecasts
• The confidence and capability to work closely with an owner/Managing Director
• A hands-on approach and willingness to get into the detail
• Ideally ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified; strong QBE candidates will also be considered
