Finance Manager, Nottingham, Free Parking, £45,000 to £55,000 12 month contract with a clear route to permanent employment I am partnering with a successful and growing manufacturing business in Nottingham to recruit a Finance Manager on an initial 12 month contract, with a genuine and well defined progression plan to Finance Director. This profitable business is entering a key transition phase within its finance function and is looking for the right individual to take full ownership of the Finance Manager remit. The role offers the opportunity to learn the business inside out, build credibility with the leadership team and position yourself as the natural successor to the Finance Director role. You will lead a small, well established finance team and take responsibility for the company's financial reporting, controls and performance insight. The role is hands on and broad, covering monthly management accounts, cash flow, budgeting and forecasting, year end accounts and audit liaison, alongside oversight of the ledgers, payroll, stock and costings. You will work closely with the senior leadership team, providing clear reporting and meaningful KPIs to support commercial decision making. This role will suit an ambitious finance professional who is looking for more than a steady Finance Manager position. You may already be operating at Finance Manager level and seeking a credible step towards Finance Director, or be a strong Senior Finance professional ready to step up with the right level of support and exposure. You will need proven experience leading a finance function, strong technical accounting knowledge across monthly and annual reporting cycles and a recognised qualification such as ACCA, CIMA or AAT, or a strong QBE background. Advanced Excel and reporting skills are essential, along with the ability to build effective relationships across the wider business. Flexible working is very much part of the long term plan. Initially, the focus will be on being on site to fully immerse yourself in the operation and build trust, after which a hybrid working arrangement can be agreed. If you are looking for progression, visibility and a clearly defined route to the top finance role, opportunities like this are rare. If this sounds of interest, get in touch for a confidential discussion.
