This is an opportunity to become a trusted commercial partner, providing the insight that helps drive better business decisions across sales, operations, and the wider leadership team. We're looking for someone who doesn't simply report the numbers, but explains them.

The Role Leading a small finance team, you'll take ownership of the entire UK finance function while partnering closely with colleagues across Europe.

Producing monthly management accounts, forecasts and budgets for both UK leadership and Group Finance. Providing commercial insight and analysis to support strategic decision making. Developing meaningful sales, margin and profitability reporting to identify trends and opportunities. Monitoring customer rebates and ensuring accurate financial reporting. Overseeing credit control, purchasing and cash management. Managing month end close and statutory reporting requirements.

Confidence communicating with stakeholders across all levels of the business, including international colleagues. We're looking for someone who enjoys partnering with operational leaders, providing commercial insight and influencing business performance.

This is an opportunity to become a genuine business partner to the Managing Director rather than simply producing financial reports.
