Leading and developing a finance team of four while overseeing the day-to-day finance function Producing accurate and timely management information for the owners and senior leadership team Improving financial reporting around profitability, margins, budgets, and performance Monitoring performance against budgets and advising on appropriate actions Supporting long-term planning, forecasting, and strategic decision-making Managing relationships with external stakeholders including accountants, banks, HMRC, NHS England Ensuring strong financial controls, compliance, and audit readiness Reviewing processes and identifying ways to improve efficiency across the finance function Communicating financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues Supporting a positive, accountable, and high-performing culture within the finance team

Experience with in the NHS, healthcare, GP practice, or medical sector would be a real advantage, particularly if you understand NHS funding, ICB frameworks, contracts, and financial reporting requirements. However, this is not essential. More important is your ability to take ownership, lead a team, improve financial visibility, and communicate clearly with business owners and senior stakeholders. The ideal candidate will be an experienced Finance Manager, Financial Controller, Management Accountant, or similar, who is confident overseeing a finance function and managing a small team.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a Finance Manager who wants more ownership, more influence, and the chance to play a key role in the future success of a £10m turnover organisation.
