Interim Finance Manager - Wadebridge - Circa: £60,000 Negotiable DOE
As part of a new preferred supply agreement, Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been exclusively engaged by an instantly recognisable, nationally operating FMCG business that seeks to recruit an experienced Finance Manager. The role is offered as an interim maternity cover contract with an anticipated duration of 15 months, ideally commencing in late October/early November 2024 and concluding in January/February 2026. This is a full-time role that benefits from hybrid working if required - up to two days per week being operated remotely.
In this broad and varied role, the successful candidate will act as the finance-number-one for a busy multi-functional production facility, and as part of an experienced wider finance function. Key responsibilities include:
1. Assume operational finance lead working closely with a range of department heads
2. Manage, mentor, and develop a team of three colleagues - transactional focused
3. Preparation and presentation of detailed management accounts with commentary
4. Production of monthly forecasting cycles, costs, and variances
5. Preparation of year-end statutory reports adhering to reporting requirements
6. Overall management of the site's aged debtor function
7. Play a lead role in annual audit processes
8. Identify, develop, and implement ongoing system and process improvements
Candidate experience: Our client is refreshingly open-minded regarding skills and experience. Due to the audit-focused responsibilities, a professional qualification (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) would be advantageous, but they will consider candidates that hold AAT or are qualified by experience if they possess experience in year-end formalities, particularly if gained in an FMCG/manufacturing/stock holding or production capacity. A sound understanding of UK reporting standards, particularly IFRS, would be advantageous, as would strong IT and digital accounting aptitude. This employer has been keen to emphasise that tenacity, team working skills, and a willingness to learn are the key attributes that they seek.
For further details, including a detailed role specification, and to apply please contact Steve Roach quoting reference SR10157 ASAP. Our client is understandably keen to appoint without delay, and shortlisted candidates can expect a fast turn-around, efficient recruitment process.
