Our client, a specialist international engineering firm with a turnover of approximately £20 million and a strong balance sheet, is seeking a skilled Finance Director to lead their finance function. As the Finance Director, you will be pivotal in shaping the financial strategy and supporting the growth of the firm. Leading a talented finance team, including a Financial Controller and Management Accountant as your #1 and #2, your responsibilities will include:
Financial Strategy Development: Implement and manage financial strategies that align with the firm’s growth objectives, leveraging the company’s strong balance sheet.
Financial Integrity and Compliance: Maintain rigorous controls and ensure compliance with relevant financial regulations and industry standards.
Reporting and Analysis Leadership: Ensure the timely delivery of accurate financial reports, offering insightful data to support both operational and strategic planning.
Mentor the Financial Controller and Management Accountant, fostering growth and optimizing the finance function.
This position offers the chance to join a close-knit team within a high-retention environment—many colleagues have over 10 years of tenure, highlighting the firm’s supportive culture and commitment to long-term employee development. Here, you will find stability, innovation, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a specialist engineering firm with a strong track record of growth and excellence.
Qualifications: ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualification (or equivalent), with a strong grounding in financial and regulatory compliance.
Relevant Industry Experience: Significant experience in a finance leadership role within a manufacturing or R&D-heavy organization—ideally in sectors such as medical devices, electronic engineering, defence, optical or mechanical engineering, automotive or related fields.
Strategic Financial Leadership: Proven ability to develop and implement financial strategies that drive business performance and growth.
Hands-on experience in financial reporting, controls, and compliance, coupled with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
We’re looking for a commercially minded Finance Director with the strategic acumen and operational expertise to lead in a globally-oriented engineering firm. If you’re a qualified finance leader with a background in R&D and manufacturing environments and a desire to influence from the board level, this could be a career-defining role.
Join a company known for its quality, commitment to innovation, and exceptional employee retention, where you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of a respected, growth-oriented engineering firm.
Start Date: ASAP
