Chorley Lancashire, United Kingdom AFR Consulting Full time

This substantial FMCG manufacturing company operates across two sites in Lancashire creating and distributing products for customers worldwide. Their policy of continuous inward investment has enabled them to expand rapidly, investing in modern production facilities and warehouse automation to ensure they remain industry leaders with a global presence. A recent restructure of the finance department has created a new role for a Budgeting & Forecasting Manager to work closely with department heads to manage cost, improve efficiencies and drive performance. The role will involve close liaison with their internal finance team, provide exposure to senior management and leadership throughout the business. Key responsibilities will be:

  • Preparing budgets for all departments across the business
  • Reporting of variances against budget
  • Preparation of forecasts with detailed analysis
  • Meeting regularly with budget holders to discuss results and actions
  • Liaising with all departments, manufacturing, sales, warehousing etc
  • Reporting and analysis of costs, margins and performance
  • Supporting planning and decision making
  • Financial modelling and scenario / trend analysis
  • Propose and create solutions to business challenges

Central to this role will be the requirement to communicate across the business and provide insightful and actionable data to the senior management. The opportunity would suit someone who enjoys the FP&A side of accounting rather than month end routines. This will be a stand-alone position and will require an individual with an inquisitive mindset, able to ask questions and constructively challenge where necessary. You will be working with SAGE 200 and should be comfortable manipulating large volumes of data in Excel into meaningful reports and analysis for non-finance managers.

This is a unique opportunity to join a business with a family feel and collaborative culture. An accounting qualification is not necessary but previous experience of owning the process of preparing budgets and forecasts will be essential.
