Are you looking for a dynamic finance role in the film and media industry? One of Europe’s leading drone cinematography companies is seeking a skilled and adaptable Finance Manager to join this friendly, ambitious team and support its continued growth and international expansion.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in strengthening the company’s financial position as it scales within the global film, media, and production sectors. The part-time role has the potential to increase to full-time in the future as the company scales.
About the Role
Reporting directly to the business owners, the Finance Manager will take ownership of the day-to-day finance function while also delivering strategically focused management accounts. This role would suit someone with broad finance experience, ideally within an SME environment, who enjoys both hands-on financial management and high-level reporting to aid informed decision-making and direction to the wider team.
In order to flatten the learning curve, the successful candidate will have, as a minimum, an interest in the media industry, particularly Film and TV. Experience within the industry and knowledge of foreign currency accounting would both be advantageous.
Key Responsibilities
* Prepare monthly management accounts (P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow), including monthly cash flow forecasts and other reports to support management decision-making.
* Bookkeeping, including sales invoicing, credit control, accounts payable, expenses, payroll, VAT returns, bank reconciliations, and fixed assets.
* Manage month-end and year-end processes, including accruals, prepayments, and balance sheet reconciliations.
* Liaise with the accounting firm for year-end statutory accounts, tax computations, payroll and directors’ remuneration related requirements.
* Communicate both internally and externally with service providers and clients, liaising with freelancers and managing the purchase order system.
* Monitor all company expenditure, manage foreign currency accounts, and oversee capital expenditure.
* Develop and enhance financial systems and procedures, identifying areas for improvement and ensuring all accounting systems are fully reconciled.
* Other ad hoc requirements such as insurance policies, vehicle tax, and leases.
Skills & Experience
* Substantial experience in a broad finance role, ideally within an SME.
* Strong analytical skills with a solid understanding of general accounting principles.
* Experience producing, analysing and presenting management account information.
* Experience preparing VAT returns and processing payroll.
* Excellent written and oral communication and influencing skills, with the ability to work collaboratively.
* Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and highly organised, with a considerable degree of sound judgment and the ability to conduct activities without supervision.
* Proficiency in Quickbooks and a strong aptitude for adopting new technologies and software applications.
* Experience in Film and TV or an interest in the industry would be highly beneficial.
* A degree in finance, accounting, or a related field is preferred; professional qualifications (e.g., ACCA, CIMA) are an advantage.
What We Offer
* A competitive salary and benefits package.
* Hybrid working opportunities.
* Private medical insurance.
* Be part of a growing, fast-paced creative business with exciting development plans.
