This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys getting stuck in, taking ownership and making a genuine difference to how a finance function operates. The business needs someone who can hit the ground running, bring consistency to financial reporting and ensure the finance function continues to run effectively while the wider business focuses on its next stage of development.

You’ll have plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to influence how financial information is used across the organisation.

What will you be doing?

This is a varied role combining financial management, reporting, team leadership and business partnering.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Taking ownership of the monthly management accounts and reporting cycle
• Delivering accurate financial information, analysis and commentary to support business decisions
• Overseeing the balance sheet, reconciliations and key financial controls
• Managing reporting requirements across a multi-entity business
• Supporting cash flow management, budgeting and financial planning
• Overseeing transactional finance activities and ensuring day-to-day processes run smoothly

• Strong technical accounting and management reporting skills
• Experience working within a business with multiple reporting requirements
• Previous responsibility for supervising or developing finance staff
• Excellent Excel skills and confidence using accounting systems
• A practical, solutions-focused approach to problem-solving
• The confidence to influence and challenge senior colleagues when needed

Importantly, you'll be someone who doesn't need a great deal of hand-holding. You'll be comfortable walking into an established business, understanding what needs doing and taking responsibility for delivering it.

Previous experience in an interim or contract role would be advantageous, but we're equally interested in candidates from permanent backgrounds who can start at short notice.

What's on offer?

• £70,000-£75,000 salary
• 6 month initial contract
• Hybrid working arrangements
• Broad role with genuine autonomy and responsibility
• Exposure to senior leadership and business-wide projects
