Finance Manager

Finance Manager – North Leicestershire – £40,000 - £45,000 Flexible and Hybrid Working

I am working with a growing, family-run business in North Leicestershire to recruit a Finance Manager. This is a standalone role, offering full ownership of the finance function within a supportive and flexible working environment.
The business is well-established, with a turnover approaching £3 million, and continues to grow steadily. They offer a rare combination of long-term stability, autonomy, and genuine work-life balance — ideal for someone seeking a hands-on role within a friendly, down-to-earth team.

The Role:
Reporting directly to the senior managers, you’ll be responsible for managing all day-to-day financial operations, including:

• Purchase & sales invoicing
• VAT & CIS returns
• Payroll processing
• Credit control & reconciliations
• Management reporting
• Working with Sage Cloud Accounting software
• Data analysis & reporting

This is a role for someone who enjoys taking full ownership — planning their own workload and working closely with the directors to support the business.

About You:
We’re looking for someone with:

• At least two years’ experience in a standalone / number one SME finance role
• Strong Excel skills — able to perform VLOOKUPs, SUMIFs and use Pivot Tables
• Preferably ACCA, CIMA or AAT Level 4 qualified
• Strong management accounting and transactional finance skills
• End-to-end weekly and monthly payroll experience
• Experience using Sage (or similar) accounting software

What’s on Offer:

• £40,000 - £45,000 depending on experience
• Flexible working — primarily office-based (North Leicestershire) with the option to work from home one day a week
• Core hours 8am – 4pm (with flexibility around this)

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone looking for a stable, long-term role where they can make a real impact, work independently, and still enjoy flexibility and work-life balance.
