Finance Manager

High-Growth International Business | Product & Commercial Exposure | Clear Progression

Maidenhead | Hybrid Working (4 days office)

£65,000 to £70,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Some Finance Manager roles are about producing the numbers. This one is about understanding what is driving them.

We Do Group are working with a brilliant, high-growth international business that is continuing to invest in its Finance function as the company scales.

You’ll be joining a successful, product-led business operating internationally, with growing complexity across stock, supply chain, systems, data and international entities.

Reporting into an impressive senior finance leader, this is deliberately a broad role.

You’ll get exposure across management accounting, international entities, stock and inventory, reporting, systems, data and wider commercial performance.

The opportunity is much bigger than simply owning month end. They want someone who gets underneath the numbers. Someone who spots something in the data and asks “why?”.

Someone who wants to understand how purchasing, logistics, stock and operational activity ultimately flow through the P&L and balance sheet.

There is also a genuine career opportunity here. The Finance function is being built out over the next couple of years and, for someone who performs, there is a clear opportunity to develop towards Financial Controller level as the team evolves.

The Role:

• Take ownership across management accounting, financial reporting and the wider month-end process
• Support budgeting, forecasting and performance analysis
• Own and support reporting across a number of international entities
• Develop a strong understanding of stock and inventory, including how goods move through purchasing, logistics and warehousing into financial reporting
• Get underneath financial and operational data, investigating variances and understanding what is really driving performance
• Understand systems and data flows, challenging data quality and identifying opportunities for improvement
• Strengthen financial controls, balance sheet integrity and the overall quality of financial information
• Support year-end, audit, statutory reporting, tax and wider compliance requirements
• Work closely with outsourced partners, including payroll
• Drive process improvement, standardisation and automation across Finance
• Partner with stakeholders across the business, providing clear financial insight and practical commercial support

The Candidate:

• Qualified or progressing towards ACA, ACCA or CIMA
• Strong management accounting and core financial reporting experience
• Naturally analytical, curious and confident working with systems and data
• Comfortable getting hands-on whilst still understanding the bigger picture
• Experience within a product-led, international or high-growth business would be particularly interesting
• Exposure to stock and inventory accounting would be advantageous
• Experience around imports, exports, customs, duties or international movement of goods would be useful but isn't essential
• Strong Excel skills and comfortable interrogating financial and operational information
• Confident communicating with stakeholders and prepared to challenge when something doesn't look right
• Proactive, improvement focused and interested in understanding the “why”, rather than simply following an existing process
• Ambitious and excited by the opportunity to develop into a broader finance leadership role

Salary & Benefits:

• £65,000 to £70,000 + Performance Bonus
• Hybrid working
• Genuine 9am–5pm working hours
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + Birthday off
• Private Healthcare & Life Insurance
• Pension
• Free onsite parking
• Salary sacrifice childcare
• Strong wider benefits

A brilliant Finance Manager opportunity for someone who wants breadth, international exposure, commercial understanding and genuine progression within a growing business where Finance is becoming increasingly important to the next stage of the journey.
