Finance Manager

This role is being offered on a full-time, permanent basis, the core hours of work are Monday to Friday, 08:30 – 16:30. However, we do require a level of flexibility - this is logistics after all!

• Oversee the production of both financial and operational management reporting, to include P&L statements and balance sheet reconciliations ensuring all accruals and prepayments are justified and are in line with the accounting standards
• Preparation of data and reports to be presented to the business and customer, also assisting with analysis for future business proposals
• Use initiative and judgement to support the senior leadership team in delivering operational excellence, challenging the status quo and delivering maximum benefit to the business
• Be responsible for the wellbeing, performance and motivation of your finance team through regular performance dialogues, objective setting and coaching
