Level Manager jobs in Aldershot

Overview:

Jewel Home Group is a fast-growing installation and supply business based in Bagshot, Surrey, operating across multiple sites within the local area. Selling at a run rate of £8 million, we fit windows, doors, and glazing solutions to residential and commercial customers across the South East. We have the data and the reporting to understand our business - now we need someone inside it every day, turning that insight into action.

This is a practical, commercially minded finance role for someone who wants to make a real difference in a growing business. You will take ownership of the monthly management accounts, monitor job-level margin performance, and work alongside the operational team to identify and tackle inefficiencies - on the numbers and on the ground.

You will report directly to the Managing Director and manage the company's bookkeeper. You do not need to have all the answers on day one, but you do need to be curious, driven, and willing to get stuck in - both at your desk and out on site.

Key Responsibilities:

• - Produce the monthly management accounts and present them to the MD with clear analysis of what the numbers are telling us - particularly around job margins and gross profit.
• Monitor job-level profitability using BusinessPilot and Pricepoint, flagging under-performing jobs and working with the team to understand the causes.
• Get out on site regularly. Visit the warehouse and installation sites to understand operational realities, spot inefficiencies, and build the relationships needed to make improvements.
• Challenge costs and spending decisions in a constructive way - bringing evidence from the numbers and the credibility earned through day-to-day relationships with the team.
• Oversee VAT, CIS, and payroll compliance - working with the bookkeeper to ensure all returns and submissions are accurate and on time.
• Manage the bookkeeper day-to-day, reviewing their work and ensuring the books are kept accurately and up to date in Xero.
• Support the MD in annual budgeting and help track performance against budget through the year.
• Work across the software stack: Xero, BusinessPilot, and Pricepoint - becoming the internal expert on how the financial data flows between them.

Skills

• Proven experience in finance operations within the financial services sector.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage teams effectively.
• Excellent organisational skills with attention to detail and accuracy.
• Proficiency in financial management software and ERP systems.
• Sound understanding of regulatory requirements related to finance and accounting standards.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret complex data sets.
• Effective communication skills for liaising with internal teams, clients, and external auditors.
• Ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities within a fast-paced environment. This role is ideal for a dedicated professional seeking to make a significant impact within a reputable organisation by ensuring robust financial operations aligned with industry best practices.
