Finance Manager

Build something that actually matters. Run the numbers that shape real decisions.

We0e0re working with a well-established retail business in Exeter that has grown steadily and sensibly, not through hype, but through doing the fundamentals properly.

They0re now looking for a Finance Manager who wants to step into a hands-on role at the heart of the business. This isn0t a “keep the lights on” finance role. It0s about improving how the business understands performance, controls cash, and makes commercial decisions.

You0ll take ownership of the day-to-day finance function, working closely with the senior team and giving them the clarity they need to run the business well.

Your remit will include:

• Monthly management accounts and board-ready reporting
• Budgeting, forecasting and cashflow management
• Improving stock, margin and cost visibility
• Owning the relationship with external accountants
• Tightening processes without creating unnecessary bureaucracy
• Being a commercial sounding board, not just a reporter of numbers

This will suit someone who:

• Has solid experience in SME or owner-managed environments
• Is comfortable being hands-on and accountable
• Can challenge constructively and communicate clearly
• Wants to influence how a business is run, not just record what happened

You don0t need to be flashy. You do need to be dependable, commercially switched-on, and able to improve things.

Because you0ll actually be listened to.

Because your work will directly shape decisions.

Because this is a business that values strong finance, not just compliance.

If you0re a Finance Manager who enjoys being close to the action and adding genuine value, this is worth a conversation.
