Where You Will Play a Part

This is no ordinary finance role... If you're after normality, this isn't for you!

As one of our fin-managers you'll be the glue that holds everything together. Your role will be to:

• Oversee the processing of the day to day transactions ensuring that they are a breeze - say no to manual processes!
• Transform the finance function into a value adding machine, implementing and developing scalable systems and processes
• Work closely with our clients, immersing yourself in their organisations and ultimately become an extension of their team
• Be our first point of contact for your clients and effectively communicate to external stakeholders
• Work across a portfolio of companies, ranging from start-ups to established SMEs

Your day to day

• Month end: Overseeing month end to ensure all necessary data is captured and processed accurately by our fin-operators.
• Analysis: Producing insight that drives impact and supports decision-making across your portfolio. This will also include storytelling and messaging - so that the numbers, trends, analytics are brought to life.
• Reporting: Managing the end-to-end budgeting and forecasting process - with the latter being key in that your role is to really bring our values to life and help each organisation remain agile and future focused.
• Networking: Building strong relationships both internally and externally across your portfolio so you are the trusted business partner for all things finance.
• Onboarding: Lead on kick-off meetings for new companies.
• Mentoring: Coaching fin-operators across the wider fin-house team and assisting them with their learning and development.
• Projects: Leading on change management projects - whether that is software implementation, reviewing processes or new commercial opportunities for example across your clients or fin-house.

What will success look like

• You'll be at the forefront of innovation in the finance function and make an impact on every organisation you support. You'll be adding value, not just producing numbers!
• You'll gain extensive experience across a wide variety of industries and sectors working in some of the most exciting start-ups and impact-driven organisations.
• The pace at which your career in finance will progress will be quicker here and we will work with you on a purposeful career development plan, with on-going mentoring.

About fin-house

At fin-house, we're fuelling start-ups, scaleups and SMEs with awesome finance teams.

The problem: The current go to for start-ups and SMEs is outsourcing their finance team to accountancy firms who are very far removed from the business and often simply produce numbers without context.

Our solution: At fin-house we deliver 'in-house'. This means, our clients will have a team IN their business, providing proactive insight, advice and commercial support enabling them to make the right decisions at the right time. We make sure our clients get the finance function they need, when they need it, seamlessly integrated into their business.

You should join us if

• You want to add value to clients and help them progress on their journey.
• You're a team player that wants to be part of a vibrant, collaborative and tight knit culture.
• You're a fast learner who has no difficulty in picking up new technologies and can easily adapt to new situations.
• You have intellectual curiosity and a passion for continuous learning and development.
• You are an excellent communicator and have great people skills with high levels of self-awareness. You love to pay attention to the details.
• You have impeccable time-management and organisation skills.

Requirements

• An accountancy qualification is desirable but we're willing to consider relevant alternative paths.
• 4-5 years' experience working in a finance-related role
• Experience with Xero and/or Quickbooks is ideal
• Proficient at Excel and/or Google Sheets
• Experience of working with a portfolio of clients is desirable

Benefits

Competitive Salary of £45,000 to £55,000 based on experience
