Finance Manager

Axon Moore

I'm currently partnering with a well-established manufacturing business in Leeds that is looking to recruit a Finance Manager to join its senior finance team. This is an excellent opportunity to join a successful and growing organisation where you'll play a key role in driving financial performance and supporting strategic business decisions.

Reporting into senior finance leadership, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day financial management of the business, providing high-quality financial reporting, commercial insight, and business partnering across operations. This is a varied role that offers genuine influence, exposure to senior stakeholders, and the chance to contribute to ongoing business growth and process improvement.

Key responsibilities:
  • Preparing accurate and timely monthly management accounts with insightful commentary
  • Leading the budgeting, forecasting, and annual planning processes
  • Monitoring manufacturing performance, including production costs, inventory, margins, and key operational KPIs
  • Producing detailed variance analysis, identifying trends, risks, and opportunities, and presenting findings to senior management
  • Business partnering with operational and departmental managers to drive performance, improve profitability, and support cost control initiatives
  • Managing cash flow, working capital, and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Supporting capital expenditure planning, investment appraisals, and business case preparation
  • Maintaining strong financial controls and ensuring compliance with internal policies and procedures
  • Leading, mentoring, and developing members of the finance team
  • Identifying and implementing continuous improvements across finance processes, reporting, and systems
About you:
  • ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified
  • Previous experience as a Finance Manager or an experienced Management Accountant ready to step into a Finance Manager position
  • Strong commercial awareness with the ability to influence stakeholders across the business
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and organisational skills
  • Manufacturing experience would be advantageous but is not essential
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious finance professional looking to develop their career within a thriving manufacturing business. If you're looking for a broad, commercially focused role where you can make a genuine impact while progressing your leadership experience, I'd be keen to speak with you.
