About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Finance Manager to take ownership of the finance function. This is a pivotal role within a growing organisation, ideal for a proactive and hands-on professional who can lead a small team and contribute to strategic and operational success.

  • Manage daily accounting functions such as invoicing, credit control, and bank reconciliations.
  • Prepare and present financial reports, forecasts, and KPIs for senior management.
  • Oversee budgeting, cash flow management, and supplier payments.
  • Ensure compliance with financial regulations, HMRC requirements, and internal company policies.
  • Collaborate with operational teams to drive cost control and profitability.
  • Act as the main point of contact for external accountants, banks, insurers, and financial partners.
  • Support business development initiatives through financial planning, cost analysis, and projections.
  • Maintain secure, efficient, and paperless financial systems.
  • Contribute to tender bids, local authority submissions, and government reporting.
Essential Requirements
  • CIMA qualification (or equivalent professional accounting qualification).
  • Minimum 5 years' experience in a similar finance or management accounting role.
  • Proven experience managing payroll processes and financial reporting.
  • Strong understanding of accounting principles, financial regulations, and payroll compliance.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and accounting/reporting software.
  • Excellent communication, attention to detail, and organisational skills.
  • Proven leadership and team management experience.
  • Ability to prioritise, meet deadlines, and perform under pressure.
  • Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.
Desirable Skills
  • Degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business Management (or equivalent).
  • Experience managing local authority contracts, invoicing procedures, and rostering systems.
  • Familiarity with HMRC audit and compliance standards.
  • Experience with Access financial software (or similar).
What's on Offer
  • Competitive salary of £47,000–£50,000 per annum.
  • Long-term, stable opportunity within a growing organisation.
  • Supportive leadership and an inclusive, people-focused culture.
  • Chance to make a real impact in a values-driven care environment.
