Finance Manager

Wouldn’t you rather be shaping a business than going through the motions? Do you want a challenge? Or to stay in your comfort zone? The Carveti Group is a small group of operating and investment companies with a collective turnover of c£8m and 25 staff focused on optimising health and social care facilities to help the NHS deliver lasting and positive impacts on people’s lives. Activities range from project management and consulting on all aspects of primary care and acute sector estate, through to the development, financing and operation of new and existing facilities. Our people are all high-performing specialists in the health sector; they’re experts in working with multiple stakeholders and collaborating with partners. And they deliver. So much so that the vast majority of our work is derived from repeat business and referrals. We’ve every reason to expect that to continue and as such we are anticipating significant growth over the next five years. About the role To facilitate that, we’re looking for an experienced Finance Manager to take control of the financial management of the business at this exciting time. In the short-term that will mean working with our external accountants to oversee and manage the day-to-day financial operations and management accounts. However, a key element of the role will be to build a team and design the processes that will allow us to bring the accountancy function in-house over time. Part of the senior management team, the Finance Manager will play a crucial part in shaping the business. Based in either Milton Keynes or Manchester, with the option to also work some days from home each week, the role-holder will report directly to our Managing Director and partner with our Operational Directors, to support them in their defined areas and drive "best in class" practices. This standalone role provides an excellent opportunity for someone who is self-directed and thrives in a hands-on, end-to-end finance position and relishes responsibility. Key Responsibilities The extent of duties will be varied depending on the Company’s business activities but are envisaged to include, but not be limited to: Financial Operations Oversee and manage day-to-day financial operations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and bank reconciliations. Ensure accurate and timely processing of payments. Maintain the integrity of financial data within the company’s accounting systems. Financial Reporting Prepare monthly management accounts and present key findings to the leadership team. Deliver accurate year-end accounts and liaise with external auditors as required. Ensure compliance with all statutory reporting requirements. Strategic Support Partner with the leadership team to provide financial insights and guidance on strategic decisions. Support business growth initiatives by preparing financial models and analysis for new projects or markets. Qualifications and experience Professional Finance qualification (Degree, ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent). Familiarity with group structures and project finance. Experience with project-based accounting and/or time-based billing. Proven experience in a similar end-to-end finance role, ideally within an SME. Strong knowledge of UK accounting standards and tax regulations. Hands-on experience with accounting software (e.g., Xero, QuickBooks) and advanced Excel skills. Key Attributes Self-motivated, with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities. Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy in financial reporting. A supportive and friendly team player. Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to challenges. Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to present financial information clearly to non-financial stakeholders. Reward package Salary £50,000.00 - £65,000.00 per annum, negotiable subject to qualifications and experience. Discretionary 10% annual bonus. Up to 28 days of annual leave p.a. (Plus UK statutory bank holidays). Contributory pension scheme - 5% employer contributions. Staff benefits package including private healthcare, long-term sickness insurance, Health Shield, and life assurance. Generous CPD and training, academic and professional qualification support.
