In reality, we’re looking for someone very specific, Big 4 trained or equivalent, you've moved into industry, and ready to step into a role where your work actually influences decisions, not just reports on them. You’ll sit at the centre of the business, partnering with senior leaders, turning data into direction, and helping shape where we invest, grow and scale. Our finance team is genuinely rare.

- Build budgets and forecasts that stand up to scrutiny
- Partner with senior stakeholders on decisions, investment and priorities
- Challenge assumptions, constructively, and influence outcomes
- Support business cases, ROI analysis, and growth initiatives
- Get involved in projects, from process improvements to business integration
You won’t just be “the finance person,” you’ll be in the room, shaping the conversation.
About you:
- Qualified accountant, ACA, ACCA or CIMA
- Likely Big 4 trained, looking for your first or second move into industry
- Strong grounding in financial control, with a genuine interest in commercial work
