Finance Manager

£50,000 to £55,000 + EOT Bonus & Profit Share

Fairford, Gloucestershire

Join a successful, growing, employee-owned business where people genuinely matter.

I am delighted to be recruiting exclusively for PBShop, a successful, profitable and well-established business based in Fairford.

What makes PBShop particularly special is its people and culture. Many employees have been with the company for over 15 years, reflecting the friendly, inclusive environment and genuine sense of belonging they've created.

As an employee-owned business through an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), employees have a real voice in its future, share in its success and can benefit financially through an annual EOT bonus and additional profit share.

Reporting directly to the CEO and working as part of the Senior Management Team, this is a varied, hands-on role offering the opportunity to take ownership of the finance function, contribute to business decisions and play an important part in the company's continued success.

About the Job

• Preparing monthly management accounts, including financial commentary and analysis.
• Managing month-end and year-end processes, including external audits.
• Preparing annual budgets, quarterly forecasts and cash flow reports.
• Overseeing VAT, financial compliance, payment runs and financial controls.
• Supporting and developing a small transactional finance team.
• Providing financial insight to the CEO, Senior Management Team and EOT Trustees.
• Contributing to commercial discussions and business improvements.

Salary & Benefits

• £50,000-£55,000 basic salary.
• Potential £3,600 annual EOT bonus, subject to eligibility and company profitability.
• Additional annual profit share - equivalent to 5% of salary last year, dependent on company performance.
• Hybrid working - one day per week from home once established in the role.
• 22 days' holiday plus your birthday off, increasing with service.
• Pension and £50,000 life assurance.
• Employee wellbeing benefits, including counselling support and GP appointments.
• Regular salary reviews.

Why Join PBShop?

Employee ownership is about much more than financial rewards. PBShop has a genuine sense of community, where everyone's contribution is valued and employees are encouraged to share their ideas.

An elected staff consultative group, regular social events, EOT celebrations and employee-chosen charitable initiatives are all part of the company's culture.

With over 80% of its business coming from international customers, a strong reputation within the publishing and bookselling industry and its most profitable year anticipated, PBShop has an exciting future ahead.

About You

• Previous Finance Manager or similar experience, ideally within an SME.
• Strong management accounting, budgeting, forecasting and cash flow experience.
• Experience with year-end accounts, external audits and financial controls.
• Strong Excel skills; Sage experience would be advantageous.
• A proactive, hands-on approach and the confidence to contribute to wider business discussions.
• Someone who enjoys being part of a team and genuinely wants to make a difference.

If you're looking for a varied Finance Manager role where you can contribute beyond the numbers and join a business that genuinely values its people, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
