- Oversee payroll, VAT, Corporation Tax, and year-end
- Drive daily cashflow forecasting and management
- Manage and develop the small finance team
- Lead stock and shipping cost audits, FX payments, letters of credit
- Work with auditors and produce year-end accounts
- Support property investment reporting
- Improve reporting and data through Excel and IT systems
About You:
- ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified
- Strong technical accounting skills and commercial acumen
- Hands-on, proactive, and detail-oriented
- Advanced Excel and comfortable improving systems and processes
- Experience in manufacturing, import/distribution or product-led businesses preferred

Why Apply:
- Work directly with the Group FD and gain depth of understanding of how a £150m group operates
- Take ownership of the finance function and drive improvement
- Visible role with the opportunity to influence wider operations
- Dynamic, entrepreneurial business with big growth ambitions
- Excellent long-term career development
