Finance Manager – Hayle – Full Time – Permanent – Salary Negotiable


We’re delighted to be partnering with a well-established, family-run engineering business based in Hayle. With a proud history and a strong reputation for delivering precision components to industries including automotive, aerospace, marine, and agriculture, this is an excellent opportunity for a capable finance professional to join a collaborative and committed team. This hands-on, full-time role is based on-site, with some flexibility in hours, and offers the chance to take ownership of the business’s day-to-day financial operations while supporting its continued growth and success.


Working closely with the senior leadership team, you’ll take responsibility for a wide range of financial duties, including:



  • Managing overall finances across the business and its international subsidiaries

  • Preparing monthly management accounts, including commentary, KPIs, accruals, prepayments, and other accounting entries

  • Carrying out balance sheet and bank reconciliations, quarterly VAT returns, and payroll administration (approx. 30 employees)

  • Overseeing sales and purchase ledgers, including monthly BACS runs

  • Preparing year-end accounts for external accountants and liaising on tax and compliance matters

  • Administering R&D tax credit claims, maintaining fixed asset registers, and supporting other ad-hoc finance tasks


We are looking for a AAT-qualified professional, or someone with equivalent experience, who has strong hands-on accounting skills and experience managing the finances of a small business – manufacturing experience is a plus but not essential. The ideal candidate is organised, reliable, and highly attentive to detail, with excellent communication skills and the confidence to work across departments while supporting a well-respected assistant.


Previous payroll experience and familiarity with foreign currency transactions are desirable. This is a varied and rewarding role within a family company with a proud history, a strong culture, and a highly committed team. You will have the opportunity to make a real contribution in a flexible, supportive on-site environment.
