An opportunity for a developing finance professional tostep into a broad, hands-on Finance Manager role and build the experience needed for the next stage of their career.

Myriad Products is a well-established renewable energyengineering company with over 20 years' experience delivering low-carbon energysystems. As the business grows, we are strengthening our finance team and looking for a Finance Manager to work closely with our Financial Controller andtake responsibility for much of the day-to-day running of the finance function.

This could be an excellent next move for someone who hasbuilt a solid grounding in accounting and now wants broader exposure and more responsibility.

You will work directly with the Financial Controller, taking ownership of day-to-day financial operations while supporting management reporting, forecasting, budgeting and financial control across the business.

This is a genuinely hands-on role. You will be working across the full finance function rather than specialising in one narrow area,giving you exposure to how finance operates within a growing SME.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Overseeingday-to-day accounts payable and receivable activity
• Bank reconciliations and general ledger postings
• Managingprepayments, accruals, journals and balance sheet reconciliations
• Supporting the preparation of monthly management accounts
• Assisting with cash-flow reporting, forecasts and budgets
• Settingup and processing weekly and monthly payments
• SupportingVAT returns, CIS submissions and payroll
• Working with operational teams to manage and reconcile stock across systems
• Providingcover across the finance function where required
• Helpingimprove finance systems, controls and processes as the business develops

You will report to and work closely with the Financial Controller, giving you direct exposure to the wider financial management of the business.

You are likely to be someone who has already developed agood grounding in accounting but wants the opportunity to broaden your experience and take on more responsibility.

You might currently be working as a:

• Management Accountant
• Assistant Management Accountant
• Assistant Accountant
• Senior Finance Assistant

The exact job title matters less than your ability andappetite to step up.

You will have:

• Experience with Sage 50 Accounts
• Strong practical accounting knowledge
• Experience with reconciliations, journals, accruals and prepayments
• Good Excel skills and confidence working with finance systems
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• The ability to organise your own workload and manage multiple deadlines
• Apractical, hands-on approach
• The confidence to investigate problems and work things out rather than waitingto be shown every step

An AAT qualification, or progress towards ACCA or CIMA,would also be valuable, but practical ability and the desire to develop arejust as important.

This role is particularly well suited to someone who wantsto spend the next few years becoming a genuinely rounded finance professional.

Rather than being confined to one part of an accounting function, you will gain practical experience across management accounts, cashflow, forecasting, budgeting, balance-sheet control, payments, payroll, taxsubmissions, stock and operational finance.

You will work closely with an experienced Financial Controller and senior people across the business, giving you a much broaderunderstanding of how finance supports a growing company.

For the right person, that should provide an excellentplatform for the next stage of a career in finance.

You should therefore already live within a reasonable commuting distance or be willing to relocate.

You must also already have the unrestricted right to workin the UK . Myriad is unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position.
