Finance Manager

Finance Manager - Mid-Cornwall - Permanent - £60,000 - £70,000 DOE 

Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to be working alongside a highly regarded local firm of accountants to assist with the recruitment of a Finance Manager for one of their clients, a successful and growing construction business based in Mid-Cornwall.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced finance professional looking for a broad and hands-on role, where they'll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference. Working closely with the Finance Director, the successful candidate will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the finance function across multiple entities, providing accurate financial information, maintaining robust financial controls and supporting the wider business with its continued growth and development.

Key responsibilities will include:

- Production of monthly management accounts across multiple entities.

- Preparation of profit and loss accounts, balance sheets and WIP reporting.

- Managing VAT and CIS returns.

- Over-seeing supplier and subcontractor payments.

- Managing treasury activities, bank reconciliations and intercompany funding movements.

- Maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring appropriate financial controls are in place.

- Supporting year-end processes and liaising with external accountants.

- Managing and developing members of the finance team.

- Maintaining and improving ERP and accounting systems.

- Working closely with operational colleagues, providing financial insight and supporting commercial decision-making.

What we're looking for:

This role would suit an experienced Finance Manager or senior finance professional who enjoys being involved in all aspects of a finance function, rather than simply over-seeing things from a distance. You'll ideally be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, although applications from QBE candidates with the right level of experience are equally welcome.

Previous experience within property, construction, housing or a related sector would be advantageous, as would familiarity with COINS and/or Xero. You'll need strong management accounting and financial reporting skills, excellent attention to detail and the confidence to work autonomously, manage competing priorities and build effective relationships with colleagues across the business.
