Head of Finance | Central London | 4 days on site
Love numbers but want more than a back-office role?
Our client is a well-established, growing SME. Fast-moving and based in central London with a buzzing, close-knit team and an ambitious new chapter ahead. Finance here isn’t tucked away in a corner. It sits at the heart of the business, working side by side with every team.
They’re looking for a Head of Finance who gets energy from people, enjoys being part of the action and wants to make finance a genuine partner across the organisation.
The role
Reporting to the CEO and sitting on the management team, you’ll own the finance function and lead a small team (currently 2 heads). It’s broad and hands-on: management accounts, cash and credit control, forecasting, commission models, VAT, payroll, audit and improving systems, including Salesforce.
It’s also much more than keeping the numbers in order. You’ll bring commercial insight, challenge thinking and help shape decisions as the business grows. You’ll be in the detail one day and the bigger picture the next.
You’ll bring
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, with 9+ years’ PQE and substantial experience in small or mid-sized businesses
- Ideally, a background in a small professional services practice, headhunting firm, media business or agency
- A collaborative, low-ego approach and a love of cross-functional teamwork
- Curiosity, energy and a genuine interest in the business you work in, not just the ledger
- Enthusiasm for being with the team in the central London office four days a week
If you’re ready for your first Head of Finance role or want a smaller business where you’ll be part of the conversation, we’d love to hear from you.
