Finance Manager

Morgan McKinley is partnering exclusively with a PE backed and rapidly expanding Manufacturing business based in Bristol to recruit a commercially minded Finance Manager.

The Role

Reporting to the CFO, you will initially manage the finances of two newly acquired businesses with a combined turnover of just under 10mln, and will have responsibility for a small team. This is a hands-on role which will partner closely with operational leaders in two different sites.

Responsibilities of the role will include:

• Lead the month-end and year-end close process
• Prepare management accounts
• Ownership of budgeting, forecasting and cash flow management
• Develop and maintain robust financial controls and processes
• Business partner with senior management to drive performance improvements
• Ensure timely balance sheet reconciliations and statutory compliance requirements
• Support post-acquisition activity including financial integration

My client is a fast-growing and highly acquisitive manufacturing business, operating across multiple sites and product lines with an ambitious buy-and-build strategy.

The Person

You will be a Qualified Accountant, ideally with experience of working within manufacturing, engineering or similar industrial sectors.

You will possess strong management accounting and financial control experience, and will be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment while partnering with operational stakeholders and senior leadership.

Strong commercial awareness and the ability to balance strategic thinking with a hands-on approach are key attributes for this role.
