Commercial Finance Manager – Burton-on-Trent Alexander Daniels are proud to be partnering with a fast‑growing, innovative engineering company that is on an exciting journey of expansion. We’re looking for a Commercial Finance Manager to join their leadership team in Burton‑on‑Trent, taking ownership of financial performance across two divisions and driving real impact across the business. This role is far from “just reporting the numbers” – you’ll be the Finance Director’s right hand, a trusted business partner to operational leaders, and the go‑to person for turning data into decisions. You’ll also get the opportunity to shape processes, mentor a small team, and influence strategy in a business that truly values finance at the heart of decision‑making. Responsibilities

Take ownership of management reporting across two divisions. Partner with project managers, influencing budgets, spend, and profitability. Lead and develop a small, ambitious finance team. Drive month‑end close, including reconciliations and adjustments. Unlock cash and working‑capital improvements through smarter billing processes. Deliver deep‑divelog financial analysis to support margin growth and operational efficiency. Oversee overhead reporting, cash forecasts, and strategic financial planning. Collaborate with senior stakeholders, ensuring finance drives better decision‑making.

Qualifications

A fully qualified accountant (ACA / CIMA / ACCA). Experience within a project‑based environment (engineering, construction, facilities or similar). Strong Excel and systems knowledge – someone who can make numbers talk. A natural communicator who enjoys business partnering and working closely with non‑finance stakeholders. Willingness to travel to other sites a couple of times a month. Energy, adaptability, and the confidence to thrive in a fast‑paced, growing business.

This is an opportunity to join a business that’s going places – where your input won’t just be appreciated, it will directly shape the future of the company. #J-18808-Ljbffr
