I am exclusively partnering with an established SME Manufacturing organisation to recruit a dynamic and commercially astute Finance Director, to join the board at an exciting time for the business.
You will join at this critical stage of the company's development to implement the finance strategy. As a strategic business partner this role will be a catalyst for change and be a creative and constructive disruptor to business thinking and approach.
The role will lead a small but established finance function and help continue to drive the business forward, enabling them to make strategic and commercial decisions based upon sound financial assumptions. The Finance Director will ultimately have the energy and passion to grow the business.
You will be comfortable operating at board level, but equally as confident being hands-on and getting into the detail when required.
Responsibilities:
- Set clear strategy for the overall finance function and clearly show how this improves business performance
- Ensure that the finance function has robust processes that are able to scale as the business grows, producing timely, accurate financial information and disciplined financial controls
- Able to provide business performance analysis and valuation
- Bring a strong financial perspective to strategic plans, including impacts on cash, growth and profitability
The essentials:
- Qualified Accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA)
- Previous experience within a manufacturing SME business
- Strong business partnering and c-suite level engagement
- Ability to influence at all levels and build co-operative relationships
- The motivation and ambition to drive innovative thinking
