Finance Director

There are many reasons for needing a new quality FD – as the good news is that our former FD has been promoted to be our MD, our guess is that this is one of the better ones you might be looking to read amongst the Ads for your potential next appointment?Who are we? A leading UK manufacturing business in our sector and now part of a forward thinking and acquisitive European Group, with three UK sites.Key Duties, which will come as no surprise:– Management of the entire Finance function, including ownership of Budgeting and Forecasting functions– Enhance current reporting pack (Divisional, Department, Customer)– Cashflow and KPI Reporting– Evaluate business controls and identify areas for improvement– Last but most certainly not least, use your experience to help develop the Team and the Department.Of course, let's not forget the important "over and above" facets to the post. These are likely to include: working very closely with the MD as we consider any opportunities for further UK acquisitions; plus taking on responsibilities for other support functions as the business develops.What about you?– You can work fully remotely in the post (UK only please) but it is a definitive advantage to be in Kent or the South East to be close for in person meetings with the MD and your team.Then in return, we are looking for:– A Qualified Accountant at FD level, and relevant manufacturing sector experience is a definite advantage once again.– A track record showing quality experience at this level.– Demonstrable experience of Finance team development.– Any experience of Acquisitions and integrations is similarly a big plus.If all the above sounds like you and you're ready for the next challenge, we'd love to hear how you can come and give us and the whole business a boost from bringing your expertise.
