The Opportunity
We are looking for a Head of Finance to join the Intercity senior leadership team. This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You will run the day-to-day finance function, drive the month-end close, lead a capable team and play a genuine part in shaping how the business operates. Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a role where your fingerprints will be on the numbers that matter.
Intercity is a technology company spanning Cloud, Cyber, Managed IT and Communications, with over 40 years of history, real commercial ambition and a finance function that has room to grow. We are profitable, purpose-led and people-first.
The finance function works well. But there are manual processes that a sharp, improvement-minded Head of Finance can modernise. We want someone who sees that as an opportunity.
What You Will Do
You will own the financial control environment across the Intercity group, lead a dedicated finance team and make sure the numbers going to the board and the CFO are accurate, timely and meaningful. Beyond keeping the engine running, you will be expected to improve it.
Day to day that looks like: Taking full ownership of month-end close and delivering it to a consistent timetable
Preparing the monthly board reporting pack including management accounts, KPIs and financial commentary, and presenting it with clarity
Running the balance sheet reconciliation process and owning exception management when issues surface
Leading the year-end statutory accounts process and acting as the primary contact for external auditors
Overseeing cashflow forecasting and cash conversion
Supporting the CFO on budgeting, forecasting and ad hoc commercial work including acquisitions, investment appraisals and growth decisions
Leading, developing and holding your team accountable for quality and deadlines
Identifying and driving automation and process improvement across a finance function that has real opportunity to modernise
Supporting on compliance including VAT, corporation tax, payroll sign-off and HMRC submissions
What We Are Looking For
You will be fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) and you will bring significant post-qualification experience in a senior finance role where you have genuinely owned the numbers, not supported someone else who did.
Beyond the qualification, we are looking for: A demonstrable track record of owning month-end close and delivering board-quality reporting under real deadline pressure
Experience building and maintaining a robust internal control framework. You spot weaknesses proactively and fix them
The ability to lead and develop a finance team, set clear expectations and hold people to them
Strong analytical skills and the ability to turn financial data into insight that non-financial people can act on
Experience in a multi-entity or group finance environment
An eye for process improvement. You do not accept manual workarounds as permanent fixtures
Commercial awareness. You understand what drives a P&L and you contribute to decisions, not just report on them
Useful but not essential: Experience in technology, telecoms or managed services
Familiarity with Power BI or similar reporting tools
Experience supporting or leading a finance transformation or systems implementation
Background in an SME or mid-market business in the £30m to £100m revenue range
What It Is Like Here
Intercity is a family-owned business with the ambition of a much larger one. We have been around long enough to have seen a lot, and agile enough to keep moving. The finance team sits at the heart of that, informing decisions, keeping the business honest and helping it grow.
We take culture seriously without making it performative. Our values (we care, we think secure, we make it happen, we do the right thing, we enjoy what we do) are things people actually use to make decisions. We have the awards to back it up, but we would rather show you than list them.
What You Will Get 38 days annual leave rising by one day per year up to five additional days, inclusive of bank holidays
Holiday Buy Scheme
Pension scheme and death in service cover
Performance bonus scheme
Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
Cycle to Work scheme and Specsavers eye test cover
Employee Assistance Programme
Colleague discounts and incentives
Active social calendar
Genuine learning and development investment
