Are you an ambitious finance leader looking for a role that can genuinely accelerate your career?

We're exclusively partnering with a rapidly growing, privately owned business seeking a commercially minded Finance professional to join one of its highest-performing divisions. With turnover approaching c.£20m and growing quickly, this is a rare opportunity to work directly alongside an entrepreneurial Managing Director, influencing strategic decisions & helping shape the future direction of the business. The role reports directly to the MD & offers exceptional exposure to senior leadership & clear progression opportunities as the division continues to scale.

This is far more than a traditional reporting role. You'll take ownership of the finance function, act as a trusted business partner to the leadership team & have a significant voice in commercial decision-making, operational improvement, growth initiatives & strategic planning. The successful candidate will also take ownership of FCA compliance & governance within the business, making prior experience within an FCA-regulated environment essential.

  • Leading the finance function & owning monthly management accounts, forecasting and budgeting
  • Driving commercial insight & supporting strategic decision-making
  • Cashflow management & working capital optimisation
  • Developing robust financial controls, processes & reporting
  • Partnering closely with the Managing Director to support continued growth
  • Taking ownership of FCA compliance, governance & regulatory reporting
  • Leading, mentoring & developing the finance team
  • Identifying opportunities to improve systems, reporting & efficiency across the business

About You

We're looking for someone with the capability & ambition to grow alongside the business.

You'll likely be:

  • An existing Financial Controller, Finance Manager or Senior Finance Business Partner ready for a bigger challenge
  • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
  • Experienced within an FCA-regulated environment
  • Commercially astute with strong technical accounting skills
  • Confident challenging, influencing & partnering with senior stakeholders
  • Hands‑on, driven & motivated by growth & progression

Why Apply?

  • Report directly to an entrepreneurial Managing Director
  • Join a fast‑paced, high‑growth division with significant momentum
  • Genuine opportunity to shape strategy & influence business performance
  • High levels of visibility & responsibility from day 1
  • Clear progression opportunities as the wider group continues to expand
  • Privately owned business with ambitious growth plans & a dynamic, entrepreneurial culture

This opportunity would suit a highly ambitious finance professional who wants more than just month‑end responsibilities & is looking for a role that offers genuine influence, accountability & long‑term career progression.
