Finance Manager- Redditch area - £40,000 – £50,000 depending on experience

Arden Personnel are supporting a successful, family-feel SME, to recruit a hands-on Financial Controller who can take ownership of the day-to-day finance function while acting as a trusted right hand to the leadership team.

This is not a “big team, lots of layers” finance role — it’s ideal for someone who’s used to being the person people come to, who can keep the numbers tight, the cash flowing, and still jump in on payroll, VAT, or a board pack when needed.

What will my day to day duties be for this Finance Manager role?

You’ll have broad responsibility for the finance function, including:

Sales Ledger & Credit Control

Daily cash postings and allocations

Customer statements and credit control

Setting up new customer accounts

Raising machine deposit invoices

Debtors control

Bank & Cash Management

Daily bank reconciliations

Direct debit processing

Cash book

Managing investment and loan accounts

Cashflow forecasting and cash management

Purchase Ledger

Supporting the Accounts Assistant

Checking and authorising purchase invoices

Authorising payment runs

Creditors control

Management Accounting & Reporting

Customer deposit control

Accruals and prepayments

Stock and WIP reconciliations

Slow moving stock analysis

Depreciation

Service contract control

Trial balance and monthly management accounts

Monthly service reports

Preparation of finance board pack and attending finance meetings

Other finance/admin

Managing the Sage accounting system (month and year-end)

Protean month ends

Payroll – monthly and year-end

P11Ds

Quarterly VAT returns

Annual audit pack

Liaison with IT/telephony providers where it relates to finance systems

What skills and experience do I need for this Finance Manager role?

Because this is an SME, we need someone who is:

Used to a standalone or small-team environment – you’re comfortable being the “go-to” person for finance

Confidential and commercially aware – able to handle sensitive information and support leadership with decision-making

Practical and hands-on – as happy doing reconciliations as you are presenting management accounts

Flexible – and will get the same flexibility back, reflecting the company culture

Qualified by experience – You do not need to be formally qualified, as long as you can clearly demonstrate experience doing this level of work

What’s on offer for this Finance Manager role?

Salary benchmarked up to £50k per annum depending on experience

Stable, friendly SME environment with a family feel

Autonomy to run the finance function

Direct access to the leadership team and the opportunity to influence

Flexibility

25 days holiday plus bank holidays
