With the support of a larger central finance team, who will manage the transactional accounting processes, you'll have the opportunity to focus on adding real value to the business. You'll also play a key role in improving systems and processes, with plans already in place to implement a new finance system and automate many of the current manual processes. Key Responsibilities: Lead the month-end process and produce accurate monthly management accounts. Prepare management accounts packs, including prepayments and accruals. Produce budgets, forecasts and cash flow information. Deliver meaningful financial analysis and job costing.

Support the implementation of a new finance system and help automate manual processes. Manage and support one direct report responsible for stock administration. About You We're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships just as much as producing numbers. You'll be an approachable, hands-on finance professional who isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves and get involved across the business. Applications are welcomed from: Qualified accountants (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) Part-qualified accountants Qualified by Experience (QBE) professionals Most importantly, you'll have the desire to make a genuine impact and enjoy working in a collaborative, people-focused environment. You'll ideally have: Previous experience producing management accounts. Strong business partnering and stakeholder management skills. Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels. Experience of budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis. Strong Excel skills. Experience of ERP systems (OpenAccounts or similar would be advantageous). Manufacturing experience would be beneficial but is by no means essential. A passion for improving systems, processes and ways of working. What's on Offer? Salary of £45,000 - £50,000, depending on experience. Hybrid working - approximately 1-2 days per week in the Caerphilly office, with the remainder working from home. Flexible working policy (35 hour working week) Up to 10% employer pension contribution. 30 days annual leave, plus bank holidays. Excellent learning, development and training opportunities. The opportunity to play a key role within a growing business during an exciting period of change. Supportive, collaborative culture where people genuinely come first. Our client is keen to appoint someone as soon as possible; however, they are happy to wait up to one month's notice for the right individual. If you're looking for a varied, commercially focused role where you can genuinely influence a business, improve processes and make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
