Finance Manager
Employee-Owned Business
£50,000 to £55,000 + Bonus & Profit Share
Fairford
An opportunity to join a successful, employee-owned business
I'm delighted to be recruiting exclusively for a long-standing client of mine, a successful and well-established SME with an annual turnover of circa £20 million, based in Fairford.
What makes this opportunity particularly appealing is that the company is employee-owned through an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), giving employees a shared interest in the business's long-term success and the opportunity to benefit financially through performance-related bonuses.
Reporting directly to the CEO and working as part of the Senior Management Team, this is a varied, hands‑on role offering the opportunity to take ownership of the finance function, influence business decisions and support the company's continued success.

- Managing month-end and year-end processes, including external audits.
- Preparing annual budgets, quarterly forecasts and cash flow reports.
- Overseeing VAT, statutory returns and financial compliance.
- Managing payment runs, credit control and financial controls.
- Supporting and developing a small finance team.
- Providing financial insight to the CEO, Senior Management Team and EOT Trustees.
Benefits
- £50,000-£55,000 basic salary.
- Potential annual EOT bonus of £3,600, subject to company performance.
- Additional profit-share bonus, dependent on company performance.
- 22 days' holiday plus your birthday off, increasing with service.
- Pension and life assurance.
- The opportunity to join an established, employee-owned business where your contribution genuinely matters.
About You
- Previous Finance Manager or similar experience, ideally within an SME.
- Strong experience preparing monthly management accounts.
- Practical experience in budgeting, forecasting and cash flow management.
- Experience with year-end accounts and external audits.
- Good knowledge of VAT and financial controls.
