Finance Director

Our client is a VC backed business using Smart Technology. Having grown from start-up to £8m turnover in just a few years, it is about to embark on its next period of development and growth and is looking to appoint a Finance Director to lead the finance function and support the expansion.

Both hands-on and strategic, the role will involve:

• Working closely with the CEO and the Board
• Overseeing a small finance team and supporting the wider business
• Implementing a scalable commercial finance function
• Supporting business planning and investment decisions
• Leading forecasting and budgeting across the business
• Working with managers to assess return on commercial spend
• Delivering management accounts, dashboards and KPI analysis
• Building controls and systems to provide accurate reporting
• Compliance, risk, insurance, audit and statutory issues
• Liaising with VC backers and developing due-diligence ready financials

The role will require an ambitious Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, ACMA, CIMA) with at least 4 years' experience in industry/commerce, ideally in a fast-paced growing business. You'll need the ability to contribute strategically in a fast-growing business, yet you'll need the willingness to roll your sleeves up in a small growing finance function.
