Finance Manager London, England
Job description
Are you excited by the prospect of joining a fast growing, company in a pivotal yet largely remote role on a part time basis? Would you like the opportunity to play a leading role in driving the next phase of commercial growth whilst still maintaining an enviable work/life balance?
Our client is a leading fire safety systems company headquartered in the heart of Central London. They are dedicated to providing cutting-edge fire safety solutions to businesses and communities, ensuring the safety and security of people and property. As they continue to expand their operations, they are seeking a dynamic and experienced Finance Manager to join the team.
Working closely with the Managing Director, the successful Finance Manager will draw on their previous experience of working within a wide-ranging finance role, ideally within the construction sector, to take ownership of both the day-to-day finance function and the delivery of the more strategically focussed management accounts. Working on a 16–20-hour part time basis with a requirement to work from the London office once or twice a month, the role would ideally suit an individual with a proven track record of working within a small, agile team.
In order to flatten the learning curve, the successful candidate will ideally need to have experience of working within the construction industry in a finance related role, which will include hands-on CIS experience.
Key Responsibilities
· Prepare accurate and timely financial reports, including monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
· Analyse financial data and provide insights to support strategic decision-making.
· Monitor and manage the company's cash flow to ensure liquidity.
· Develop and manage the annual budget in collaboration with department heads.
· Create financial forecasts to identify potential financial risks and opportunities.
· Track budget performance and make adjustments as necessary.
· Ensure compliance with all financial regulations and standards.
· Manage tax planning and compliance, including VAT, payroll, and corporate taxes.
· Collaborate with senior management to develop and execute financial strategies that align with the company's goals.
· Manage banking relationships.
· Oversee procurement and vendor management.
· Identify and assess financial risks and implement strategies to mitigate them.
Skills & Experience
- Proven experience as a Finance Manager or similar role, ideally in the construction, or related industry.
- The ability to successfully manage a small finance team.
- Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, or a related field.
- Relevant professional certification (e.g., ACCA, CIMA) is desirable.
- Sound knowledge of financial regulations, accounting principles, and tax laws.
- Proficiency in financial software and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
- Experience of working with Zoho preferred.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Effective communication and leadership abilities.
- Strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team and manage priorities.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a highly organised Finance Manager to join a dynamic, fast growing organisation with exciting development plans. A competitive salary and benefits package including hybrid or remote working and health insurance is on offer to the right candidate.
If you are a motivated and experienced Finance Manager, who is passionate about working in a successful growing business then we would love to hear from you. Apply now!
