Your Recruiters are proud to be partnering with a growing and ambitious software SME in Loughborough to appoint a commercially focused Finance Manager.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced finance professional who wants full ownership of a finance function within a scaling tech business — and who has genuine ambition to develop into a future CFO.

This is a stand-alone Finance Manager role (managing one part-time Credit Controller) where you will take responsibility for all day-to-day financial operations while also playing a key role in supporting strategic growth.

The business operates within the software sector and is entering an exciting phase of development. They are looking for someone commercially sharp, hands-on, and hungry to step up over time.

You won’t just be producing numbers — you’ll be influencing decisions.

• Full ownership of the finance function
• Preparation of monthly management accounts with commentary
• Leading budgeting, forecasting and financial planning
• Strong experience with zero-based budgeting (essential)
• Managing cashflow and financial controls
• Overseeing invoicing and working closely with the part-time Credit Controller to optimise collections
• Providing commercial insight to senior leadership
• Building financial models and supporting business case development
• Supporting year-end processes and external advisors

• Qualified (ACCA / CIMA / ACA) or qualified by experience
• Strong SME experience, ideally within software / SaaS / tech
• Confident preparing full management accounts independently
• Demonstrable experience operating zero-based budgeting
• Commercially minded and comfortable partnering with senior stakeholders
• Ambitious and motivated to progress toward a CFO-level position
• Comfortable working in a hybrid model (3 days per week in Loughborough office)

• Salary up to £60,000
• Clear progression pathway to Finance Director / CFO
• High visibility role within a growing business
• Opportunity to shape and build finance processes
• Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days remote)
