Finance Manager for Freight Firm

I run a clearing and forwarding company that has outgrown its informal bookkeeping, so I now need a dedicated finance professional to put our numbers on firm ground. Your core mandate will cover three pillars: sound budget planning and forecasting, accurate cash-flow control, and clear performance reporting.

Here is what I will rely on you to deliver and maintain:

• Rolling budgets and quarterly re-forecasts that tie operational KPIs to financial targets.
• Daily, weekly, monthly, and annual MIS packs (P&L, balance sheet, cash-flow statement, key ratio analysis) ready for management review every morning by 09:00 GMT.
• Variance analysis with concise commentary that highlights risks and opportunities.
• A forward-looking cash-flow model that is updated in real time and flags funding gaps at least two weeks ahead.

Excel mastery is essential, and the ability to work quickly inside mainstream accounting or ERP platforms will make onboarding smoother. Accuracy, deadline discipline, and the habit of presenting numbers in plain language are non-negotiable.

If you can step in, take full ownership of the finance desk, and give me data I can act on every single day, let’s talk.
