Spencers Recruitment Limited
Finance & Operations Manager

This is a broad and varied role within a small office environment,where the successful candidate will take responsibility for the company’s financial management while also assisting with general operational and administrative matters.
The role has developed due to two (one of which is part time) long-standing members of staff gradually reducing their involvement in the business over the coming years. As such, the client is looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership of the finance function while also supporting the wider running of the office.
Key Responsibilities:

- Preparing accounts and assisting with year-end processes

Candidate Requirements
- Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or similar)
- Experience working within a small or owner-managed business environment
- Comfortable taking a hands-on approach across a varied role
- Strong organisational and communication skills
- Able to work independently and take ownership of responsibilities
- Professional, reliable and highly organised
This role would suit someone who enjoys working closely with business owners and being involved in multiple aspects of a company’s operations, rather than working in a narrow corporate finance role.
