This is a genuine hands-on finance leadership role, not a head-down processing job. You'll own the finance function across a small but growing portfolio of founder-led businesses, working directly with senior stakeholders and building the function out from the ground up.
The business is a privately backed investment group with a portfolio of ambitious, high-performing companies at various stages of growth. The model is straightforward: support them operationally, scale them, and ultimately prepare them for exit. You'll sit on the Leadership Team from day one and have a clear path into M&A and transaction work as the portfolio grows.
What the role involves:
- Month-end close, management accounts, and Board packs across multiple entities.
- Own the full finance operation, including cashflow management, payroll coordination, credit control, and supplier payments.
- Oversee the external accountants on VAT, statutory accounts, and corporation tax.
- Manage a Finance Executive and gradually bring outsourced work in-house.
- Support budgeting, forecasting, and commercial analysis.
- Work closely with portfolio stakeholders on financial visibility and performance.
- Gain increasing exposure to M&A activity, due diligence, and exit preparation as the portfolio grows.
What we're looking for:
- Qualified or part-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA).
- Solid grounding in management accounts, month-end close, and financial reporting.
- Comfortable being hands-on across multiple entities simultaneously.
- Strong communicator; able to hold your own with founders and directors.
- Experience with Xero is useful; multi-entity or group experience is a plus.
Why it's worth a look:
You'll have real ownership, real stakeholder access, and a clear upward trajectory into strategic and M&A work. It's an entrepreneurial environment, not a corporate one. If you're a detail-focused finance professional who wants to build something rather than just maintain it, this is worth a conversation.
