Finance Manager

Amiqus•Edinburgh, IN

8d•£45,000 - £53,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We’re looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to join us as we scale. Working closely with our Finance Director, you’ll own the day-to-day running of finance at Amiqus - payroll, invoicing, collections, reconciliations and month-end and help build the processes, controls and reporting that will carry us through the next stage of growth. This is a broad and varied role where your work will be visible across the business. If you enjoy rolling up your sleeves, improving how things are done and being a trusted partner to team members and leadership, we’d love to hear from you. This is a fast-growing, scale-up environment - not a large scale corporation. Things move quickly. Whilst we have structure and excellent people - you’ll need to be able to deliver and implement things directly so we’re looking for someone who’s energised by making change, having specific impact and scaling themselves as we grow on our 10x plan. Please note we are unable to hire outwith the UK and do not currently hold a certificate to sponsor for employment.
