Finance Manager

Manchester | Up to £65,000 | Full-Time | Permanent

We are recruiting for an experienced and fully qualified Finance Manager to join a growing, project-led business in Manchester.

Reporting directly to the Finance Director, you will take ownership of the monthly accounts process, financial controls, statutory compliance and project reporting. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded accountant who enjoys working autonomously and making a real impact within the finance function.

  • Prepare monthly management accounts, including P&L, balance sheet and month-end journals.
  • Own the month-end close process and maintain robust financial controls.
  • Complete and review all key balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Produce cash flow forecasts, budgets and variance analysis.
  • Support project accounting, cost tracking and profitability reporting.
  • Prepare VAT returns and manage HMRC correspondence.
  • Assist with statutory accounts preparation and year-end audit requirements.
  • Monitor debtor and creditor positions, providing meaningful financial insight to management.

About You

  • Fully qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA.
  • Previous experience in a Management Accountant or similar role.
  • Strong month-end and management accounts experience.
  • Excellent reconciliation and financial control skills.
  • Experience preparing VAT returns and managing compliance requirements.
  • Sage experience is essential.
  • Confident communicator with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.

Desirable

  • Experience within construction, engineering or another project-based environment.
  • Knowledge of project accounting and cost reporting.
  • Experience using Eque2 or a similar ERP system.
  • Previous involvement in audit and statutory accounts preparation.

What's on Offer?

  • Salary up to £65,000.
  • Autonomous role with broad responsibility and exposure to senior leadership.
  • Opportunity to influence processes and drive improvements.
  • Growing and supportive business environment.
  • Manchester-based office location.

If you're a qualified accountant looking for a varied role where you can take ownership and add value, we'd love to hear from you.
