Finance Manager (Temp-to-Perm / 6 Month FTC)

Finance Manager (Temp-to-Perm / 6-Month FTC) | Leeds | £55-60k | Hybrid (1-2 days WFH)

If you're the kind of person who thrives on sorting chaos into calm, lifting teams out of the weeds, and turning good intentions into clean processes then this business needs you. This is a 6-month FTC with a very real path to permanent. You'll be stepping in during a crunch point- a fast-growing business, a lean team, and a serious appetite to raise the bar across reporting, processes and people.

Background: This is a values-led organisation providing housing and support services for vulnerable adults. With big growth plans and an expanding client base, finance needs extra firepower. Following some recent staff turnover, there's now an urgent need for a hands-on, experienced Finance Manager to bring structure, leadership and pace to the client reporting function. You'll report to the Financial Controller and work closely with senior stakeholders - but you'll also have plenty of space to take ownership, lead change, and get stuck into the detail.

What you'll be doing:

• Owning client reporting- quality, consistency, and delivery
• Leading and developing 3 Management Accountants
• Acting as the key point of contact for external clients
• Improving processes, controls, and reporting structures
• Supporting audits, budgeting, reconciliations and forecasting
• Partnering with the FC to modernise and professionalise the finance function

What you'll need:

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
• 5+ years' post-qual experience, ideally in dynamic or high-change environments
• Demonstrated ability to lead and develop a small team
• Confident working under pressure and managing competing priorities
• Strong Excel and reporting skills
• Bonus: experience with Microsoft Dynamics NAV or similar systems

Where and how:

• Leeds-based role with free on-site parking
• Hybrid working (1-2 days from home per week)
• 6-month FTC with strong opportunity to go permanent
• Monday-Friday, 40 hours/week

Why it matters: This is more than a temporary fix. It's a chance to bring structure and leadership to a team that wants it, in a business that's doing important work. You'll play a key role in building a stronger, more capable finance function, with impact from day one.

What you'll get:

• £55-60k salary
• 25 days' holiday + bank holidays
• 5% employer pension contribution
• Life insurance (4x salary)
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
• Employee referral scheme
• Free parking
