We are looking to appoint a Finance Manager to lead our customer focused Corporate Finance team.

Your team will consist of seven staff, who cover a range of functions including treasury management, capital, collection fund, income management and bank reconciliation.  As Finance Manager, as well as overseeing these functions, you will lead on the preparation of the annual Statement of Accounts and the associated external audit process.

In order to fulfil this demanding role, you will be a full member of a professional accountancy body, an effective communicator and driven to achieve challenging objectives.  Ideally you will have experience of these areas of work and of managing staff.  Alternatively, you could be an exceptional, more recently qualified accountant looking for an opportunity to further your career in a challenging, technical, managerial role.

We have recently moved to a new, purpose built office and civic centre in Harrogate and there are other benefits of working here including flexible and agile working, the use of pool cars, leisure facility discounts and the option to join the Local Government Pension Scheme.  You can find out more here.
For an informal discussion about the role please contact Graham Byrne, Financial Services Manager, on 01423 500600 ext. 58564 or email at graham.byrne@harrogate.gov.uk
