Finance Manager
Rochdale
£50,000 – £60,000 + Benefits package

Lead the future of finance.

Platinum are exclusively retained by a growing £8mil t/o retail business looking for their first leader of finance. The SME has recently been acquired by an international group, increasing reporting requirements and the need for a senior leader. As the Finance Manager, you’ll play a central role in shaping the future – It’s an opportunity to lead change, modernise processes, and put your own stamp on a finance function that’s poised for transformation.

Total honesty, you won’t be stepping into a neat and tidy setup. And if that’s what you’re after – this won’t be for you. There is work to be done, for example month-end currently takes around 2 weeks, the group want to align this to their deadlines so efficiencies need to be implemented to reduce the close time. Software needs reviewing, and the finance team of 4 staff we need upskilling in certain areas…

Here’s what you’ll walk into:

  • A well-established business with a brilliant reputation
  • An experienced finance team who are solid on the day-to-day
  • A Managing Director who knows finance needs to level up – and is backing this hire 100%
  • A finance function that’s outdated but ready for change

What you’ll need to bring:

  • Must be ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified – The business will only consider quals on this one
  • A strong track record as a Finance Manager, ideally with experience in change environments
  • Experience within an SME environment, able to dig into the nitty gritty elements of accounting

The Managing Director is ready to support change – they know that finance needs a leader who can bring it in line with the rest of the group There’s nobody above you here, and for the right person, this will evolve into a Finance Director role in the near future.

If this sounds like the right challenge for you, apply now.
