Our Dunfermline-based client is seeking a qualified and commercially minded Finance Manager / Accountant to take full ownership of the organisation's finance function and act as the primary financial lead to the CEO.
This is a business-critical appointment. The successful candidate will be responsible for interpreting financial performance, providing clear insight and foresight to senior leadership, and ensuring the business is making informed, data-driven decisions. While elements of financial analysis will be supported by an outsourced team, this role retains full accountability for oversight, interpretation, reporting, and investment insight.
This position offers a clear pathway into a long-term senior finance leadership role as the organisation continues to stabilise, evolve, and grow.

Oversee and liaise with an outsourced financial analysis team, ensuring outputs are accurate, relevant, and aligned with business needs.
Review historical financial data, identifying issues, risks, or inconsistencies and implementing corrective actions where required.
Support investment decisions, budgeting, and longer-term financial planning.
Strengthen and modernise finance processes to support operational stability, change, and growth.
Ensure compliance with statutory reporting, accounting standards, and internal governance.
Essential Experience We're looking for someone who:
Is qualified (ACCA / CIMA / ACA) or highly qualified by experience with strong demonstrable capability.
Has experience operating as the senior finance lead within an SME or similar environment.
Is confident analysing, interpreting, and challenging financial information, not just producing it.
Can communicate complex financial data clearly to non-finance stakeholders, including at CEO level.
Is commercially astute, detail-driven, and comfortable uncovering and resolving financial issues.
Brings confidence, credibility, and structure to a finance function.
