Are you a Finance Manager looking for the opportunity to take ownership of a finance function and make a genuine impact?

A well-established manufacturing business in the Bridlington area is looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to lead its day-to-day finance function. Following significant investment in the business and with new finance leadership in place, this is an excellent time to join and help improve financial reporting, controls and processes.

You will take responsibility for management accounts, financial reporting, VAT returns, budgeting and forecasting, while leading the finance team and supporting transactional activity when required.

This is a varied Finance Manager role for someone who enjoys getting into the detail, improving how things are done and taking real ownership.

What will you be doing? As Finance Manager, you will:

  • Produce monthly management accounts and financial reports
  • Take day-to-day responsibility for the finance function
