Finance Manager As a Finance Manager who wants proper ownership, this could be what you've been waiting for. Based in Swindon and paying £50,000, this Finance Manager role sits within a global organisation that is well established, financially stable, and quietly ambitious about what comes next. The UK business is growing steadily, with clear plans to move turnover from around £13 million towards £16 million, supported by a wider international group behind it. This Finance Manager role exists because someone has been promoted internally. Progression has created space, and now there's an opportunity for a Finance Manager to step in and take real responsibility. The business operates as a UK and Ireland distribution hub, stocking and supplying engineered solutions manufactured by their head office. That means finance here is very real and very tangible. The numbers connect directly to stock, margins, customer demand, and commercial decisions made every day. As Finance Manager, you'll have full ownership of the finance function. Payroll for around 30 people using Sage Payroll, month end and management accounts, group reporting, and working closely with the Managing Director to run the P&L. You'll be hands on, visible, and trusted. As Finance Manager you'll be working within an established ERP system, reporting directly into the Managing Director. This is not a background role. Finance has a seat at the table, and your input will shape how the business continues to grow. Historically, finance sat within a wider Finance Director remit. With growth and increased complexity, that structure has evolved. This Finance Manager role gives finance the dedicated focus it now needs, and gives you the space to properly own it. You're a commercially minded Finance Manager. Strong on Excel, comfortable working with ERP systems and group reporting, and confident understanding how decisions affect cash, margin, and growth. You're practical, switched on, and not someone who leads with "that's not my job". It's a broad role. As Finance Manager you'll get involved in lease agreements, some ISO work, and the odd dip into HR when needed. Not because you're expected to do everything, but because you're comfortable being part of the wider business and helping where it genuinely matters. Culturally, it's straightforward. No ego. No politics. Just people who want to do good work and move things forward. The job title is flexible. Finance Manager or Financial Controller both work. What matters is your mindset. This Finance Manager role is office based in Swindon. They are keen to get someone started, but they will wait for the right Finance Manager rather than rush the decision. If you're a Finance Manager who likes responsibility, visibility, and being trusted to get on with it, this one is worth a conversation. This role is exclusive to Marshall Harmony. You won't be contacted by any third parties. If you'd like more info or want to talk it through, just drop us a message, tag someone who'd be perfect for this below, or send your CV to the email above. By submitting my CV, I acknowledge and accept that Marshall Harmony will collect and process my personal information for recruitment purposes and will retain it for a minimum of 24 months in accordance with their Privacy Policy and T&Cs, available at: (url removed)> Before this retention period expires, Marshall Harmony will contact me to ask whether I wish my data to remain on file within their talent pool.
