Senior Finance Manager

Senior Finance Manager - Paignton – £55,000 – £60,000 – Full time – Permanent If you're a qualified finance professional looking for a senior role with genuine variety, real strategic influence and significant scope for career progression, this is a compelling opportunity and one well worth your attention. I'm working with a well-established and growing business based in Paignton that is looking for an experienced Senior Finance Manager to take ownership of the finance function and play a central role in the ongoing success and development of the organisation.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a broad and commercially focused role that sits at the heart of the business, encompassing:

- Preparation of monthly management accounts, cash flow forecasting and management, and budgeting and forecasting across the business.

- Producing accurate financial reports to specific deadlines and managing and streamlining financial systems that support both finance and operational functions.

- Overseeing the purchase order system and managing one direct report responsible for bookkeeping, accounts payable and accounts receivable.

- Ensuring all financial practices are in line with statutory legislation and regulations including VAT, assisting with payroll and supporting the annual external audit process.

- Working closely with the CEO and operational colleagues to identify areas for improvement, develop processes and efficiencies and communicate financial performance clearly across the business.

- Interacting with the board and external investors, providing visible and commercially focused financial leadership at the highest level. The ideal candidate will be fully qualified, ACA, ACCA or CIMA, with a strong analytical approach, excellent communication skills and the ability to operate confidently at both a detailed and strategic level. You'll be naturally collaborative, solutions focused and comfortable working at pace in a dynamic and growing environment.

This is a replacement hire following the departure of the incumbent, and the incoming Senior Finance Manager will be joining a well run and financially sound business with a clear strategic vision. Importantly, you won't be doing it alone, as the role benefits from the support of an experienced CFO on a retained advisory basis, providing a genuine sounding board and senior finance resource as and when needed.

Add to that a management equity incentive scheme and significant opportunities for growth and advancement, and this is a package that genuinely reflects the seniority and importance of the position. If you're a qualified finance professional looking for a role where your contribution will be visible, valued and genuinely impactful, I'd encourage you to apply.
