Finance Manager

We are working with a fast-growing healthcare services business to recruit a Finance Manager during an exciting phase of continued growth and development.

The organisation delivers specialist services across the healthcare sector, supporting clients with complex operational challenges and delivering large-scale, project-based programmes. Continued growth has increased the scale and complexity of the business, creating the need to strengthen its finance function and further develop its financial reporting, controls and commercial insight.

Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, this is a broad and hands-on Finance Manager position offering exposure across management reporting, financial control, cash management and project profitability.

The successful candidate will work closely with both the CFO and operational teams, developing a strong understanding of business performance while helping to build the processes, controls and financial information required to support the organisation’s continued growth.

• Prepare supporting schedules for statutory accounts, corporation tax, audit and other external review processes.
• Ensure accounting records remain accurate and compliant with UK accounting requirements and internal policies.
