Finance Manager (Or a MA Ready to Step Up) Batley £40,000 - £50,000

You know that feeling when you’re capable of more, but your current employer thinks “development” means letting you do the same job with a different spreadsheet?

Yeah. This role isn’t that.

A growing group in West Yorkshire is looking for someone who’s ready to move from doing the numbers to owning the numbers. They don’t need a fully-polished, already-been-there FM who wants to spend their days delegating. They want someone who can run the management accounts and isn’t too precious to jump onto the purchase ledger when things get lively.

This is for the Management Accountant / Deputy FM who’s impatient. Who wants oversight. Who wants progression. Who wants to learn from a leadership team that actually leads.

If that’s you, read on.

What you’ll actually be doing:

• You’ll handle monthly management accounts and financial statements across multiple entities - not just one neat little cost centre someone’s shoved you in for the past two years.
• You’ll own budgets, forecasts and cashflow conversations with people who don’t glaze over when you speak.
• You’ll reconcile the balance sheet and bank - properly.
• And you’ll oversee a solid finance team who need someone capable of guiding, coaching and occasionally rolling up sleeves to help when it’s all hands on deck.

You don’t need to be a fully qualified superhero. ACCA/CIMA part-qual or QBE with genuine range is fine. What you do need is competence, curiosity, and the ability to talk about a P&L.

What’s in it for you:

• Growth opportunities - this isn’t a static role
• £40-50k salary
• One day a week WFH after probation
• 24 days holiday + bank hols + birthday off
• Health cash plan
• Electric car salary sacrifice scheme
• Annual discretionary bonus
• Hours: 8-4 or 9-5 - your choice

This role is going to suit either a Management Accountant, Assistant FM or Deputy FM who’s ready to step up, or a confident Finance Manager who wants to work somewhere with actual growth opportunities.
