supported, and proud of what they produce.

The Role

As our Senior Financial Manager, you will anchor Fieldbar's finance function, taking full

demanding role that sits at the intersection of rigorous accounting standards and the realities of

manufacturing.

control our business. You will be the technical authority on group accounting, and a trusted

partner to leadership across finance, operations, and supply chain.

PURPOSE OF THE POSITION

To own the integrity of Fieldbar's group financial reporting, from multi-entity consolidations and

IFRS-compliant statutory accounts to inventory valuations and cost of goods analysis. You will

operating across multiple entities and currencies, and that our controls are tight enough to scale

with us.

• Partnership with operations and supply chain to ensure commercial contracts, import

duties, and freight cost provisions are accurately captured and reported

• Support for group budgeting and rolling forecasts, providing consolidated financial input,

variance analysis, and insight to the Head of Finance and leadership

• Review and preparation of group tax compliance, including income tax, VAT and

provisional tax submissions, and deferred tax, in coordination with external tax advisors
