This business is an established and trusted UK owner-managed manufacturing business that supplies globally and has sustained continued growth in turnover and profitability over the last 5 years. The last 18 months have seen the business restructure to reflect its size and future plans, with a revised strategy, operational efficiencies, and a positive cultural shift.
The Finance Director in post has significant operational influence on the business and is currently looking to construct a budgetary planning model for 'what if' scenarios across a range of situations. Therefore, this role is very much focused on gross margin analysis and financial modelling to support the business in making commercial decisions that deliver on strategic objectives whilst maximising profitability.
The business doesn't use a standard costing model for their products; they currently use a raw material mark-up. You will need to utilise the management accounts to assess the impact of gross margin in different scenarios. You will take sales information and investigate margins by customer, region, country, product, etc., to enable strategic decisions on new revenue streams maximising profitability. You will look into various labour scenarios, the impact of labour for growth, costings of labour, etc., to support their new drafted 'pay range' structure, proposed bonus schemes, and possible future legislation changes. Key Responsibilities:
You must be a qualified candidate with the ability to understand and analyse the P&L. You must have manufacturing experience and a strong understanding of costings, as while they don't use a standard costing model currently, this role may progress to support the development of one. You must have strong/advanced Excel skills, as while you'll be supported with parameters to set spreadsheets up, you'll be required to construct these autonomously. You must be available immediately or within a week's notice. This position is initially a 3/6 months contract and will suit an experienced contractor that can deliver on objectives efficiently; however, there is the possibility of a permanent role being created out of this placement. This business is in a strong financial position, and the finance team hasn't grown with the business. The Finance Director has created a clear finance structure, but the team is lean, and there is potential to increase headcount if there is value delivered from this position.
The position will either be a fixed-term contract with salary negotiable or worked on a daily rate of £250 - £350 umbrella. However, all candidates will be considered as the client is looking to place this position as soon as possible.
