We are recruiting for a Finance Manager to join a growing organisation based in Redditch on an initial 6-month fixed-term contract, with the potential to become permanent.

This is a broad Finance Manager role, taking responsibility for the management accounts for one entity alongside managing a team of five, ranging from Management Accountant, Financial Accountants through to Accounts Assistants.

The business is looking for someone who is technically capable but, equally importantly, a good people manager. You’ll be joining a business with a strong focus on culture, so they’re looking for someone approachable and supportive who can build relationships with their team while still being confident holding people accountable when needed.

The role will include:

Producing and reviewing monthly management accounts for one entity

Reviewing the P&L and balance sheet, ensuring accuracy and investigating any issues

Incorporating commentary and insight from the FP&A team into monthly reporting

Managing a team of five across Management Accounting and transactional finance

Reviewing the work of the team and ensuring month-end deadlines are met

Supporting, developing and motivating the team while giving them autonomy to manage their own responsibilities

Working closely with the wider finance team and senior stakeholders

Supporting improvements to processes and ways of working

Supporting statutory accounts where required

About you

Qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA

Strong management accounts experience

Confident reviewing a P&L and balance sheet

Previous experience managing a finance team

A supportive but confident management style – someone who trusts their team, recognises good work and is also comfortable addressing issues when needed

Strong people and communication skills

Organised with good time management and the ability to manage competing deadlines

Statutory accounts experience would be beneficial but is not essential

The business offers a good level of flexibility and hybrid working and is particularly focused on finding someone who will fit well within the existing team and culture.

They are ideally looking for someone who can start relatively quickly, although they are willing to wait for the right person.
