Finance Manager - Birmingham - £80,000 + Car allowance + Bonus

Our client, a leading UK housebuilder, is seeking to recruit a commercially‑minded finance leader to support the Regional FD and MD, and play a key role in running a high-performing finance function. This is a visible, operational role with real influence across the business, where your insight will support planning, forecasting, reporting, controls, and strategic decision‑making.

Working closely with the Finance Director, you'll help ensure the finance function operates effectively while providing clear commercial support to the wider business.

What we're looking for:

• A recognised accounting qualification, with 3+ years' post-qualified experience in industry
• Strong leadership skills, with the ability to motivate, support and develop a team
• Excellent commercial judgement and the confidence to challenge constructively
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn data into useful insight
• Experience managing budgets, forecasts, cost control and financial reporting
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders across finance and non‑finance functions
• A proactive, resilient and decisive approach
• Strong attention to detail, balanced with the ability to see the bigger commercial picture
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving organisation
