Finance Manager

Interim Finance Manager - South Warwickshire

Minimum 5-month contract Salary dependent on experience

Knowledge of Xero essential

We're recruiting for an experienced, hands-on Finance Manager to join an extremely busy, niche business on an initial minimum 5-month contract.

This is not a strategic, hands-off role. The successful candidate will be comfortable getting stuck into the detail, taking full ownership of the day-to-day finance function and operating confidently in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

The role

You will be responsible for the delivery of accurate and timely financial information, including management accounts up to trial balance, across the main business and its subsidiary entities. Working closely with the Managing Director, you'll help maintain control, improve processes and keep finance running smoothly during a particularly busy period.

Key responsibilities

• Preparation of management accounts to trial balance, including subsidiary accounts
• Month-end close, journals, accruals and prepayments
• P&L ownership and balance sheet control
• Bank reconciliations, credit control and supplier payment runs
• Processing and reconciliation of company credit cards
• Supporting audit activity and maintaining robust financial controls
• Resolving customer and supplier queries
• Creating and improving hands-on finance processes
• Ad-hoc projects in line with business needs

About you

• Proven experience in a hands-on Finance Manager or similar senior role within an SME environment
• Comfortable working in a busy, operationally demanding environment
• Strong working knowledge of multi-entity / subsidiary accounts
• Happy to roll your sleeves up and get involved in day-to-day finance tasks
• Available for a minimum 5-month contract, with flexibility to extend

This role will suit someone who enjoys being close to the numbers, thrives under pressure and takes pride in keeping finance functions running efficiently in a niche, fast-moving business.
