New Yesterday

Are you in danger of plateauing? Getting bored, frustrated, or under-rewarded for the difference you make? Maybe you're ready to stretch your skills, have more influence, and ensure this loyal Finance team are 'future-fit' for the growth ahead? Ready for your next opportunity? Supported by the Finance Director, you'll take responsibility of the day-to-day finance function in a growing business, shaping systems, people, and performance with your ideas. And you won't just be maintaining the status quo. You'll drive improvements in reporting, cash flow, and process efficiency, with the freedom to implement what you think will make the biggest difference. And because the business is expanding through acquisitions, there's plenty of scope to influence how finance evolves and integrates new businesses. Dynamic growth at this pace requires flexibility, commercial instinct, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. If you haven't opened Excel in years or prefer not to, this probably isn't the role for you. But if you thrive in an entrepreneurial, fast-moving culture where even the Board digs into the detail when needed, you'll feel right at home

What you'll need

(You'll have the support of a centralised Group function that manage Tax and Treasury). You'll need experience of managing a sizeable team. Excellent communication and customer service skills are key, as you'll be working across the business and presenting to the board. An action-orientated, solutions-focused mindset, with the agility to manage competing priorities at pace and take others with you. If you've worked in manufacturing, logistics, supply chain, or similar you'll know exactly how much devil hides in the detail when it comes to really understanding the margins and levers. Power BI/AI skills would stand out. Confidence using MS Excel is a given.
