Head of Finance – Pocklington – £65,000 – £75,000
Chase & Holland are proud to be partnering exclusively with an ambitious and growing international manufacturer to recruit a commercially focused Head of Finance. This is a rare opportunity to join a successful £10m turnover business with clear and exciting plans to double in size. As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the financial strategy, driving performance, and supporting the Managing Director in delivering sustainable growth. If you’re an experienced Financial Controller ready to step into a broader leadership role – or an established Head of Finance seeking a business where you can truly add value – this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a traditional finance role. You’ll oversee financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cashflow management, compliance, audit coordination, and internal controls – while ensuring the business has the financial clarity and governance needed to scale confidently. You will:
- Lead and develop a small finance team (2-4 direct reports)
- Take full ownership of the finance function
- Drive financial awareness across all departments, to ensure deliver targeted financial performance
- Provide strategic insight to support ambitious growth plans
- Partner closely with the Managing Director as a trusted advisor and play an active role in the Senior Leadership Team
- Strategic planning – Influence operational and commercial decision-making
- Manage all external stakeholder relationships including banks, finance companies, auditors and HMRC
What We’re Looking For
- Be ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified
- Have experience in a senior finance role within an SME environment
- Bring exposure to manufacturing and/or international trading (highly desirable)
- Have strong Excel and systems skills
- Be proactive, collaborative, and comfortable challenging stakeholders
- Want to make a genuine impact rather than simply “report the numbers”
- Personality fit is important – this business values energy, curiosity, relationship-building, and a positive approach.
Why Apply?
- Join an ambitious business on a genuine growth trajectory
- Senior Leadership Team exposure and influence
- Opportunity to shape processes and strategy
- Bonus scheme and private healthcare
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
- Company pension
- Training and development support
This is a superb opportunity to add real value in a business where your contribution will be visible and impactful.
