Part Time Finance Manager  - Central Bristol - £35-45,000

If you’ve ever read a recruitment advertisement for what at first glance appears to be a really interesting career opportunity only to be utterly disheartened by the bland nature of the end employers’ nature of business, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised on this occasion. Our client is a design engineering business with a range of entirely unique and completely innovative products that are taking the industrial sector by storm – with a global capacity. They’ve pioneered a product that has been proven to not only save significant money, but also dramatically improve their customers environmental credentials. From design, manufacture, implementation and development, the business is made up by a team at the cutting edge, and they’re now looking for an exceptional Finance Manager to join the team managing the day-to-day accounting controls of their UK operation. The role will be part time, ether 3 days per week or 5 short days, basically they are flexible! The client is also happy to include some working from home for the right person, but living relatively local is still essential. 

The role works as part of a small UK finance team, reporting to and assisting the Financial Controller, supervising one junior member of staff and liaison regularly with their US based CFO. The accounting function is growing and represents a pivotal aspect of the company’s ongoing success. The most suited description for this role is simple: Broad and varied. The successful candidate will essentially play a key role in all aspects of the company’s full-cycle general accounting with responsibility in the following areas: 

- Accounts payable and receivable management 
- Filing VAT returns
- Monthly financial accounting reports
- Act as the key member of the UK finance team to colleagues and department heads through the business
- Take a lead in ensuring efficient day-to-day accounting controls through invoice management, banking, reconciliations, monitoring cashflow and payroll
- Monthly management accounts with commentary for FC & CFO.

We’re looking for a highly motivated individual who is keen to develop their career. The successful candidate may be part/fully professionally qualified (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), with limited PQE, or qualified by experience with exposure gained in a similar role. Culture fit and personal qualities are just as important as technical experience; the role works within a fast paced and energetic team where superb communications skills will be required. This is no job for an accountant that wants to be left in the shadows!
