Finance Manager

Not every finance role sits in an environment like this. We're working with a unique, privately owned business set within a beautiful estate setting, offering a mix of heritage, commercial activity and a genuinely lovely team. This is a hands on Finance Manager role where you'll work closely with the General Manager, supporting the day-to-day running of the finance function while helping bring more clarity and insight to the numbers.

The role

This is a broad, all round position where you'll be involved in both the operational side of finance and improving how the business uses its financial information.

• Overseeing the day-to-day finance function across multiple income streams
• Managing month end processes and maintaining accurate financial records
• Producing management information and supporting reporting
• Supporting cash flow visibility and providing clearer insight to the wider team
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and streamline systems, currently Xero-based
• Acting as a trusted support to the General Manager

There's real scope here to add value, particularly around reporting, analysis and making the numbers more meaningful for decision making.

What they're looking for

This role would suit someone who enjoys being hands-on but also wants to step into a more commercially aware, value adding position.

• Part-qualified, QBE or qualified accountant
• Advanced Excel
• Strong grounding in core finance and monthly reporting
• Comfortable working in a small team environment
• Someone who enjoys improving processes and making things work better
• Confident communicating with non-finance stakeholders
• Happy to roll up their sleeves as part of a small team

The working pattern

• Ideally 4 or 5 days per week (32 to 40 hours)
• Hybrid working available, with a minimum of 3 days on site
• Some seasonal peaks, particularly around year-end and budgeting

Why this role?

• A genuinely friendly, down-to-earth team
• A fast-paced, fun and vibrant environment
• A unique working setting, not your typical office
• Variety and autonomy in the role
• The opportunity to make a real difference
• Flexibility around working pattern and structure
• Free parking
• Discounted events and food

If you're looking for a role where you can be part of the business, not just sit behind the numbers, this could be a really lovely mo
