Finance Manager

at  TympaHealth

The Finance Manager is a newly created senior role of critical importance for the success of the finance function. You will be managing the two more junior members of the finance team and reporting to the Financial Controller (FC), who has overall responsibility for the global finance function at TympaHealth.
The primary initial focus will be to take ownership of all finance activity relating to customers (managing the sales ledger and credit control, responses to customer queries and supporting colleagues in customer facing departments). Ultimately the intention is for this role to take responsibility for all aspects of UK accounting, financial operations and external reporting / compliance.
The Finance Manager role will therefore be critical in delivering effective, efficient and scalable financial operations as the Company grows and in elevating finance to better support business decisions and the formulation / execution of strategic plans.
You will be joining a highly motivated team that is passionate about what they do in a company that is going from strength to strength. This is an opportunity to make a difference to people’s lives and play a visible role in its success.
