Description

Rutherford Cross is delighted to be working in partnership with a highly successful family-run business in order to appoint a Finance Manager to support the business growth and enhance the finance function. This role is essential, reporting directly to the Financial Controller, who will gradually transfer many day-to-day responsibilities to the Finance Manager. This handover will empower the Finance Manager to take ownership of key upcoming projects, such as implementing a new ERP system and optimising the use of automation and technology within the business.

This position offers an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual, providing a clear pathway for advancement into the Financial Controller role in the near future.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support the Financial Controller with the preparation and circulation of regular performance and management information to the board and departmental managers. This will enable informed decision-making and budget control
  • Prepare VAT returns and reporting
  • Prepare regular payroll cycles
  • Process and pay purchase invoices
  • Prepare forecasts and budgets
  • Prepare year-end reporting information for incorporation into statutory accounts
  • Interact with external organisations, such as the auditors and HMRC, to ensure ongoing compliance with all necessary regulations
  • Monthly balance sheet reconciliations and accounting
  • Support the delivery of a robust reporting analysis structure and appropriate software tools to deliver accurate and timely commercial MI to the business leadership team and core functions, using automation where possible
  • Provide analysis and insight on ad hoc financial planning projects and commercial decision-making, including the financial implications of complex projects and trading arrangements

This is a brilliant opportunity for a qualified accountant to come and join the well-established Finance team. The position of the Finance Manager will be a highly visible role, working closely with the Financial Controller and Chief Financial and Operating Officer. Given the exposure of the position, the successful individual must be confident in building effective and robust working relationships within the finance team and across all departments. The post holder will possess a strong work ethic, take responsibility for their duties and be willing to support the business on key objectives.

This role would suit a recently qualified accountant, who is now looking to further develop their career within a highly successful Scottish business or a more experienced individual looking to progress their career.

The Individual:

  • Fully qualified accountant with a relevant professional qualification (CA / ACCA / CIMA etc.)
  • Demonstrated experience working in a similar finance environment
  • Strong Excel and IT skills
  • Experience of VAT return preparation
  • An analytical, proactive and problem-solving mindset
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Self-starter with a ‘can-do’ attitude
  • Driven to succeed and continually develop
  • Experience working with Power BI reporting tools would be advantageous, although not required
  • Experience in payroll preparation would be advantageous, although not required
