Your new company

You’ll be joining a well-established SME manufacturing business based in Exeter. With a busy operational period underway, they’re looking for an experienced Finance Officer to come in on an interim basis and provide support across the team. It’s a friendly, collaborative environment where you’ll be able to make an impact quickly.

Your new role

Reporting to the Finance Manager, this is a varied and hands-on position supporting the day-to-day running of the finance function.

You’ll be involved across the full finance process, including managing purchase and sales ledger, supporting credit control, carrying out bank reconciliations, and assisting with month-end tasks such as journals, accruals, and reconciliations. There will also be exposure to stock and inventory accounting, along with some involvement in payroll processing.

This is a great opportunity to work across a broad remit rather than being siloed into one area.

What you’ll need to succeed

To be successful in this role, you’ll have previous experience in a Finance Officer or similar all-round finance position, ideally within an SME environment.

You’ll have a solid understanding of core finance processes (AP, AR, reconciliations), some exposure to month-end, and be confident picking things up quickly. Experience within a manufacturing or stock-based environment would be beneficial, but isn’t essential.

Strong Excel skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment are key.

What you’ll get in return

In return, you’ll gain valuable experience within a fast-paced manufacturing business, working as part of a supportive and collaborative team.

The role offers variety and the chance to broaden your skill set across multiple areas of finance, while stepping into a position where you can make an immediate impact.
