This is a rare opportunity for a highly driven, hands‑on Financial Director to join a fast-growth business. They are experiencing exceptional growth with the pace and energy of a start‑up. You will be the CEO's trusted right hand – not just a technical accountant, but a true commercial partner who thrives on balancing aggressive growth ambitions with financial reality.
The Role
- Commercial Finance & Modelling: Build and stress‑test complex financial models to support growth initiatives, investment decisions, and scenario planning.
- Cash & Capital Management: Relentlessly focused on the balance between cash in the bank, working capital requirements, and the need to reinvest for growth.
- Contract & Commercial Review: Apply an expert eye for detail to customer, supplier, and partnership contracts – identifying risk, commercial upside, and hidden exposure before they become problems.
- Board Packs & Investor‑Level Reporting: Prepare insightful, data‑rich board packs that tell the real story – not just historical numbers, but forward‑looking projections and actionable intelligence.
- Growth vs. Caution: Act as the internal guardian who respects ambition but never ignores the numbers. Challenge where needed, but always in service of sustainable, rapid growth.
- Operational Integration: Understand how multiple business units (e.g., different revenue streams, cost centres, or operational functions) interact financially – and ensure no part operates in a silo.

You will be comfortable with the realities of a start up‑style culture: ambiguity, pace, limited bureaucracy, and high personal accountability. In return you will have a genuine path to CFO as the business continues its growth trajectory.
