Job description

Finance Director - Exclusive Opportunity

A high-performing, cash-rich business with a strong reputation in its sector is ready to appoint an exceptional Finance Director to shape its next phase of growth and value creation.

This is a rare opportunity to join a respected, founder-led organisation that has grown organically to a £15m turnover. With long-term contracts in place and a history of sustainable growth, the business is now strengthening its senior leadership team to support its continued evolution.

You will be stepping into a senior leadership role currently held by a long-term advisor. The timing is ideal for a commercially astute, hands-on finance leader to embed themselves into the fabric of the business.

What's on offer:

• A broad role that covers strategy, commercial support, and financial stewardship
• A leadership seat with influence over business planning, investment priorities, and operational delivery
• A chance to work directly with an experienced CEO and founder-led board

What we're looking for:

• A qualified Finance Director or senior finance leader with experience in SME and service-based environments
• Commercially minded, operationally engaged, and able to thrive in a values-led, entrepreneurial business
• Comfortable navigating both day-to-day finance leadership and forward-looking strategic planning
• Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to operate as a true business partner
• Transaction and due diligence experience desirable as the business may seek acquisition opportunities in the near future

This confidential search is being led by Pratap Executive. We are working exclusively with the shareholders to explore the most suitable appointment . Please contact Gillian McBride for more details
