Hybrid working

We’re partnering with a small, but ambitious FMCG manufacturing business based in the East Midlands, and we’re looking for someone who’s not just great with numbers but also an open communicator. You’ll work closely with the Managing Director, helping to shape the financial strategy and support operational decision-making.

What you’ll be doing:

• As part of the Senior Leadership Team, partner with the MD to provide financial insight and support across the business
• Producing management accounts, budgets, forecasts, and variance analysis
• Driving improvements in cost control and operational efficiency
• Supporting strategic planning and business growth initiatives
• Giving detailed cost analysis and collaborating with other functions in the business

What we’re looking for:

• A qualified or part-qualified accountant (CIMA/ACCA/ACA)
• Someone who’s approachable, collaborative, and confident communicating across teams
• Able to provide financial insight based on strong technical accounting knowledge and commercial acumen
• A proactive mindset with a genuine interest in manufacturing and operations
• Ambitious, hungry for development – this role will lead to a more senior finance role in the long term as the business grows.
• Experience in manufacturing is essential.

The opportunity

• The business has a close-knit, supportive team. You voice will be heard, and your contribution will be visible.
• You will have direct involvement in shaping the future of the business as a key member of the Senior Leadership Team.
• The opportunity for future personal development is wide open for the right person in this role.
• Hybrid – flexible working.

You may be a senior management accountant ready to make that next step in your career or in a Finance Business Partner or Finance Manager role feeling like you are a number and not seen or heard. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and want to be part of a smaller business where you can truly make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
