This stable, profitable manufacturing business is just one business within the owner's remit, currently has a turnover of circa 15 million, based in Skipton, easily accessible from areas in East Lancashire such as Colne, Barnoldswick, Barrowford, and Gisburn. They supply mainly to the UK, with 3 sites, but this Finance Manager job will be based in Skipton, where they distribute from.

Finance Manager Job

This role is to cover the current Finance Manager, who has been there for over 10 years and is going on maternity leave for 1 year. The contract is expected to last 14/15 months in that particular role; however, the MD has another accountant that does the finances for his other businesses that is nearing retirement age, and so if you settle well and would like to remain in post, the MD will restructure the team to keep this person in post, as already agreed with the current Finance Manager.

As the Finance Manager, you will have full responsibility for all financial-related activity working on SAGE 200 and SAGE payroll, producing monthly management accounts, overseeing the purchase and sales ledger, and if you have the prior experience, complete the payroll.

You will supervise the accounts assistant who supports processing the purchase invoices, then you will make the payments with two standard monthly payment runs, far east payments, and euro payments twice monthly. The business only operates in sterling, and so you must then reconcile the accounts using appropriate exchange rates. The accounts receivable ledger is managed by the accounts assistant with a clear process and triggers; you will be required to step in when an account needs escalating. All staff are paid monthly on SAGE Payroll, but with a mix of hourly paid employees and salaried staff.

The Requirements

• You must have prior experience and autonomy in a previous finance role that will give you the ability and confidence to complete the role without support. Making payments, managing escalated AR queries, and reporting for/to the Managing Director.
• You must have initiative, be able to follow processes, and work well with other people as the business has a strong team culture and they are keen for someone to support this.
• You must be comfortable on Excel, ideally with experience in pivots and lookups, but this isn't essential. However, you must have more than a basic knowledge.

The Benefits

The business has a relaxed, family-friendly feel with a very nice working environment in nice offices, a grown-up culture, and employee security. Salary is between £35,000 and £45,000 full-time equivalent depending on experience, but with some negotiation above this if necessary for someone with all the experience.

This role does not require a full-time person, so hours will be between 23 and 28 hours, which can be worked across 3, 4, or 5 days suiting the individual candidate's needs. The business has standard but rising benefits, so whilst you will initially start on 21 days holiday + bank, these will rise during your tenure, and the business does allow employees to take holidays unpaid so you may boost your holiday allowance by requesting unpaid leave.

Please note that if you are NOT a passport holder of the country for the vacancy you might need a work permit. Check our Blog for more information.
