Head of Finance| Multi-Site hospitality | Manchester

A founder-led hospitality business. Rapid growth. Major delivery platform presence in Greater Manchester. Real momentum - and just getting started.

This is a step up, and a stepping stone.

The business is scaling fast, and the intention is clear: build the finance function, prove it, and grow into the Finance Director seat as the company expands.

They don't need a traditional accountant.

They need a commercial ace - someone who turns numbers into action and wants to genuinely shape a business alongside its founder, not just report on it.

The role

  • Working directly with the founder, you'll own the finances - but more importantly, you'll drive the commercial decisions that move the business forward.

You'll be given a lot of rope.

Expected to find answers yourself.

And trusted to get on with it.

  • Build the financial modelling function from the ground up
  • Procurement & cost reduction - food, packaging, utilities - find it, own it, execute it
  • Building an AI-native finance function
  • Shape the finance team and structure as the estate grows
  • You'll bring
  • Multi-site hospitality or QSR experience
  • Commercial mindset - you drive actions from analysis, not just produce reports
  • AI-native. Entrepreneurial. Self-sufficient.
  • CIMA/ACCA/ACA preferred - but instinct beats credentials here
  • Ambition to grow into an FD role, not just occupy this one
  • Low ego. High ownership.

Get the first two years right and your future more than looks after itself.
