688 Finance Manager – Media & Creative Sector | London | £45K–£60K
We’re partnering with a well-established, privately owned group in the creative/media industry that’s on the hunt for a sharp and commercially minded Finance Manager. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and wants real visibility and impact within a lean, central finance function.
About the Role:
* Reporting directly to the Group Finance Director, who also doubles as COO
* Mentoring and guiding junior finance team members (small team of 3–4)
* Leading on group management accounts and being a key player in the year-end external audit
* Working closely with cross-functional teams – this is not a back-office siloed role
* Exposure to strategic financial planning and commercial decision-making
Compensation:
* Salary range: £45,000 – £60,000, depending on experience
* Looking for someone immediately available or on a short notice
What We’re Looking For:
* Strong academics: First-Class or high 2:1 degree from a top UK university
* A-levels: Only A/A* grades – this client does not compromise here
* Progress with a professional accounting qualification (ACCA / CIMA / ACA)
* Experience using Sage 50 would be a major plus
* Confident communicator who can collaborate with non-finance stakeholders
* Strong attention to detail, proactive mindset, and can operate independently
* Prior experience mentoring or managing juniors is essential
Growth & Progression:
* This role is designed for someone with long-term vision – lots of room to grow into a more senior leadership role
* Ideal for a commercially aware finance pro who wants to influence and improve business performance
* Join a tight-knit central ops team with a legacy of success and internal promotion
