We’re working with a growing, recently private equity-backed business in Leyland who are looking to appoint an Assistant Finance Manager as part of their next phase of growth.
The business has grown from around £3m to £10m turnover in just 3 years and has now secured PE investment to support its continued expansion.
This is also a genuine succession-planning hire. You’ll work closely with an experienced Finance Manager who plans to retire within the next 2 years, with the intention being for the successful person to develop into the Finance Manager position. The original job specification similarly identifies the role as a precursor to promotion into Finance Manager.
It’s a broad, hands-on role giving you exposure across the full finance function.
Responsibilites will include:
- Monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting
- Balance sheet reconciliations
- Oversight and support across AP, AR and payroll
- Cash flow management and creditor payments
- Budgeting and forecasting
- VAT returns
- Financial analysis to support business decisions
- Improving financial controls and processes
- Supporting new systems and ways of working
- Exposure to wider areas of the business, including IT and HR
Package:
- £35,000 – £40,000
- Hybrid working
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
- Clear progression into Finance Manager
- Opportunity to join a PE-backed business at an early stage of its next growth phase
They are looking for someone with good all-round finance experience who is ready to step up and take on more responsibility. You’ll ideally be have strong Excel skills and a solid understanding of accounting principles.
It could be a particularly good opportunity for an Assistant Accountant, Management Accountant or Assistant Finance Manager who feels they’ve reached a ceiling and wants a role where there is a clear route to running the finance function.
You’d be joining at a pretty exciting point too: significant growth already delivered, fresh PE investment behind the business and a genuine opportunity to grow your responsibilities alongside it.
