Finance Manager

£35,000–£45,000 depending on experience | Outskirts of Scarborough
Full-time, 37.5 hours per week | Fully site-based | Early finish on Fridays

Ready to take greater ownership of month-end and day-to-day finance? This Management Accountant opportunity offers broad responsibilities, study support and the chance to see the impact of your work across an engineering business.
Castle Finance is partnering with an established business on the outskirts of Scarborough seeking a hands-on accountant to strengthen its finance team. You will work closely with the Financial Controller, providing accurate financial information, supporting cash management and helping improve processes.

What you’ll be doing

Supporting monthly management accounts, including accruals, prepayments, journals and balance sheet reconciliations.
Monitoring cash requirements and maintaining accurate cashbook and bank reconciliations.
Supporting credit control and purchase ledger activity to keep day-to-day finance running effectively.
Preparing weekly payroll analysis and providing payroll cover when required.
Working with colleagues across the business and wider finance team to improve reporting and processes.

What you’ll bring
You could already be a Management Accountant or be an Assistant Management Accountant ready for broader responsibility. Qualified-by-experience candidates are welcome.

Sound accounting knowledge, with practical experience of month-end, journals, accruals, prepayments and reconciliations.
An understanding of cash management and the importance of accurate, timely financial information.
The confidence to take ownership, manage competing priorities and ask questions when needed.
An analytical approach and an interest in understanding what sits behind the numbers.
Sage Accounts, Sage Payroll or multicurrency experience would be useful, although systems and internal processes can be taught.

You do not need to have independently produced a full management accounts pack, provided you have strong accounting fundamentals and are ready to develop.

Why this role?

This is an opportunity to broaden your experience, contribute practical ideas and become a trusted member of a small finance team. The business is navigating change, so it will suit someone who enjoys solving problems and bringing structure to a busy environment.
The package includes £35,000–£45,000 depending on experience, study support, a workplace pension and on-site parking. You will work 37.5 hours per week, fully on site, with an early finish on Fridays.
