Group Reporting 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.
