Want to be in the room where big decisions get made and actually shape the future of the business?

This is your chance to join a growing e-commerce company where finance isn't just a back-office function , it's at the heart of how things run. With turnover sitting at £12 million and big plans to grow, the senior leadership team is looking for a commercially-minded Finance Manager to help drive performance and bring ideas to the table.

The Opportunity

You'll be replacing the current Finance Manager and taking full ownership of the function - with the support of a capable and experienced Finance Assistant who you'll manage day to day. This isn't a huge team yet, but it's solid and there's potential to grow it further as the business scales.

You'll be working closely with an ambitious, forward-thinking Managing Director who's keen to involve you in the bigger picture from commercial planning and supplier negotiations to streamlining operations and scaling the team.

You'll be involved in:

Producing management accounts, cash flow forecasts and dashboards

Reconciling website, Amazon and eBay sales

Bank recs, AP/AR, supplier invoicing

Weekly financial reporting to the MD

VAT returns and preparing for audit (external auditors in place)

You'll also be a core part of weekly senior leadership meetings - working closely with Sales, Operations, Marketing and the MD to shape commercial decisions, review performance and explore cost-saving opportunities (e.g. freight, logistics, supplier terms).

About You

You'll be someone who thrives in an SME where your role really matters. You'll need to be:

Qualified (ACCA/CIMA/ACA) or QBE

Experienced with Sage

Commercially sharp - not just technically sound, but able to think bigger picture

Confident managing a capable team member and running the day to day

Based locally and happy to be fully office-based (Monday-Friday with flexibility)

Experience in a product-led, e-com or multi-channel environment would be a big plus.

Why This Role?

A seat at the leadership table

Influence over decisions from day one

The trust and space to shape the finance function

A strong foundation already in place, with support from a reliable team member

Progression potential as the business grows
