Your new company
I am partnered exclusively with a leading manufacturer, based in Rossendale, who are looking to recruit a Finance Manager to replace a long-standing employee who has been with the company for over 20 years.

This is a full time role, working Monday to Friday with an early lunchtime finish on the Friday afternoon.

What you'll need to succeed
To be successful for this role, you will have experience working in a small to medium-sized business, where you have managed the full accounts process, or be happy to have the transactional element as part of your daily role. You will be AAT qualified (or qualified by experience) to a minimum, with proven experience in a finance management role, strong knowledge of financial regulations, proficiency in financial software and ERP systems and have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
