Finance Manager Succession plan to Head of Finance Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 + bonus Keighley, West Yorkshire Shape the Future of Finance - Lead Transformation and Accelerate Your Career Some finance roles keep the wheels turning. This one builds the machine for the next stage - and will propel your career into a head of role while doing so. Why This Role Stands Out This isn't just about producing numbers. It's about shaping the story behind them. You'll build the finance engine that helps take the business through its next growth phase - and beyond. You'll gain exposure to private equity, acquisitions, and high-level strategy - while working in a culture that values trust, development, and autonomy. When you move on from this role (in a few years), you won't just have more experience. You'll have the full toolkit - technical, commercial, and strategic - to step into the Head of Finance role. What else is there to know? A high-growth UK manufacturer, recently backed by Private Equity, is going through a major growth and transformation phase - and they need a technically strong Finance Manager ready to help shape it. You'll join a business with big ambitions, international reach, and serious momentum. Investment is pouring into technology, efficiency, and growth. With a transaction on the horizon in the next few years, now's the time to join the journey - not after it's happened. This is a career-defining role that blends hands-on technical leadership with genuine strategic exposure. You'll be part of a modern, fast-paced finance team led by a CFO and Head of Finance who have both built their careers in major corporates - but are now building something far more dynamic. Less red tape. Faster decisions. More opportunity to make an impact. Here, you'll be trusted to take ownership, empowered to challenge, and supported to grow. What's In It For You Fast-track leadership journey: A clear, mapped route from Finance Manager to Commercial/Finance Business Partner and ultimately Head of Finance, guided by senior mentors who've done it at the highest level. High visibility, high impact: Collaborate closely with the CFO, COO, and PE investors - driving transformation and seeing the direct results of your work. Tailored career development: A personalised plan to strengthen your technical excellence and broaden your commercial and leadership skillset. Agile, empowering culture: Decisions are made quickly, ideas are welcomed, and your input genuinely matters. Exciting transformation: Lead finance reporting improvements, digital dashboards, automation, and process redesign. Gain exposure to strategy, M&A and a future PE transaction. What You'll Do Own group reporting, management accounts, tax, treasury, and core financial control. Strengthen systems, controls, and governance as the business scales. Deliver insightful financial reporting for the board and investors. Drive finance transformation projects - including automation, Power BI, and ERP optimisation. Coach and develop a capable finance team. Partner across operations and commercial teams to link performance with results. Who You Are ACA / ACCA qualified (ideally practice-trained or a strong first-time mover into industry). A technically strong accountant with curiosity, drive, and the ambition to grow. Someone who can see the career benefits of being in a fast-paced, evolving SME environment. People from larger companies are very welcome to apply. You might not tick every box yet - but you've got the hunger to learn and lead. Lead. Grow. Succeed. Your next big leap in finance starts here. Equals One is an advertising and recruitment agency working on behalf of our client to promote this vacancy.
