Job description

Are you an ACA / ACCA qualified finance professional seeking a hands on role in a professional SME?

You will be fully home based for this one – managing all day to day financial reporting and control for a £10m turnover privately owned modern business.

You will also be comfortable wearing other hats in the business as a vital sounding board to the MD.

You’ll be that crucial ‘critical friend’ to the wider leadership team (including the MD) – reviewing the financials, managing relationships with external stakeholders and proving insight and thoughts into opportunity and risk across the group.

It’s a sleeves rolled up position – transactional finance and the nuts and bolts of AP / AR is outsourced but you must be comfortable drilling into the nitty gritty if required. A reasonable amount of your time is also spent on non core finance tasks – offering common sense insight around decision making, opportunity and risk across the business.

All of the role is done at arms length (working remotely) so you must be skilled and experienced in a remote based role ideally. You need to be comfortable building relationships via Phone / Teams / Zoom.

It’s a role offering incredible work life balance – full time but with autonomy to manage your workload as you see fit – and with zero commute!

The senior leaders meet face to face once per month.

This is a business that adds real value to their customers and has a social purpose at the heart of their mission.

Growth SME, fully remote, head of finance / FD.

Required:

• Ability to start in August / September.
• ACCA / ACA qualified ideally.
• Experience of financial reporting / control in a smaller business.
• A professional and methodical approach to managing deadlines / workload / priorities.
• Ability to develop strong working relationships with external stakeholders (banks / insurance providers / auditors etc).
• Confidence when working remotely – reporting directly to an MD.
