This is a fantastic opportunity to join a rapidly growing renewable energy company operating at the forefront of Ireland’s solar sector. With a strong pipeline of residential and commercial projects, the business is scaling quickly and investing heavily in people, systems, and sustainability.
We’re looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to take ownership of the finance function, strengthen controls, and provide meaningful commercial insight to support continued growth. This role sits at senior management level, reporting directly to the Managing Director and playing a key role in shaping financial strategy.
As Finance Manager, you’ll oversee end-to-end financial operations within an SME environment—balancing operational delivery with strategic input. This is a role for someone comfortable being close to the numbers while also stepping back to influence decision-making at leadership level.

Prepare and present monthly management performance packs
Own cashflow forecasting and reporting
Develop and enhance performance metrics, including automation where possible

Liaise with external accountants and auditors
Maintain and improve internal controls, policies, and procedures
Provide commercial insight into pricing and strategic decisions
Identify and implement ERP / accounting system improvements
You’re a proactive, commercially minded finance professional who enjoys working in a growing, fast-paced environment and taking real ownership.
You’ll bring:
ACCA / CIMA / CPA qualification
Strong experience in a hands-on SME finance role
Excellent communication skills, with confidence engaging non-finance stakeholders
The ability to step out of day-to-day detail and provide strategic context to senior leadership
Experience with finance systems such as QuickBooks, Xero, or Sage
A solutions-focused mindset with strong organisational and problem-solving skills
€70,000 – €75,000 salary (DOE)
Pension
Paid annual leave
Some WFH flexibility
Long-term career growth within a sustainability-focused business
A visible, influential role within the senior management team
Be part of a business actively contributing to Ireland’s renewable energy transition
Join during a period of strong growth and investment
Influence financial strategy, systems, and performance from the inside
Work in a company that values innovation, people development, and sustainability
