Finance Manager - Commercial

I’m currently partnering with an innovative and growing technology business in Harrogate that is looking to recruit a Commercial Finance Manager to join its finance team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially focused finance professional to take a key role in supporting growth, improving financial performance, and providing insight to senior leadership.

Reporting to the Finance Director / Head of Finance, you’ll take ownership of budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, financial analysis, and commercial business partnering. You’ll play a key role in understanding revenue performance, profitability, costs, and cash generation while helping the business scale effectively.

This is a broad and high-impact role within a fast-paced technology environment, offering excellent exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to influence the future direction of a growing business.

About you:

ACA, ACCA, CIMA qualified, or qualified by experience
Previous experience in Commercial Finance, FP&A, Finance Business Partnering, or a similar role

Commercially minded with the confidence to challenge and influence senior stakeholders

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious finance professional looking to join a growing technology business where finance is genuinely valued as a commercial function. If you’re looking for a role where you can work closely with senior leadership, influence strategic decisions, and play a key part in supporting sustainable growth, I’d be keen to speak with you.
