Our client is a successful, privately-owned, purpose-led organisation entering a particularly exciting phase of growth. Having established a strong reputation within its sector, the business is now embarking on an ambitious expansion strategy that will see both headcount and operational footprint increase significantly over the coming years. As a result, they are seeking a commercially-minded Head of Finance who is also pragmatic about the size of the business and prepared to be hands-on.
You will take ownership of the finance function and help provide the financial insight, controls and leadership required to support the next stage of their journey. This is a role that offers genuine variety. You'll be the senior finance professional within the business, partnering closely with the Directors and operational leadership team, whilst also remaining hands-on with the day-to-day financial management of the organisation.
You'll be responsible for producing meaningful management information, cashflow forecasting, budgeting and financial analysis, whilst also ensuring robust financial controls, reconciliations and transactional accuracy. Importantly, you'll be operating with the support of a loyal and well-regarded Finance Assistant.
Key responsibilities include:
- Producing monthly management accounts, commentary and financial insight
- Leading budgeting, forecasting and cashflow management
- Supporting strategic decision making through analysis and financial modelling
- Maintaining strong financial controls and balance sheet integrity
- Overseeing day-to-day finance operations, including ledger management and reconciliations
- Identifying opportunities to improve processes, systems and reporting
- Partnering with operational stakeholders across the business
- Managing and developing a Finance Assistant
- Supporting the business through continued growth, change and expansion
- Potential involvement in DD or an event in the future
About You: We're far more interested in attitude, personality and approach than a specific sector background. You may already be operating as a Financial Controller/ FD or Head of Finance, or perhaps you're a strong Finance Manager ready to step into a broader leadership role. You'll ideally bring:
- Professional accountancy qualifications (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) although part-Qualified/QBE backgrounds will be considered.
- Strong proven communication skills
- Experience within an SME or growing business environment
- Strong management accounting, forecasting and cashflow skills
- The ability to operate both strategically and hands-on
- Experience within a multi-site or operationally-led business would be advantageous
- A collaborative, approachable and engaging personality
- A genuine desire to contribute to a positive culture and purpose-led organisation
- An understanding that this requires a 'hands-on' approach
Why Apply? This is an opportunity to join a business where your contribution will genuinely matter. You'll work closely with decision-makers, influence the direction of the organisation, help shape future growth plans and become a key part of a team that values people, relationships and doing the right thing. For someone who enjoys combining commercial thinking with a hands-on approach, opportunities like this don't come around very often.
