Salary £60-70,000

Location: Remote, with occasional meetings in London and Northampton

The opportunity

A privately owned, entrepreneurial group with interests across property, hospitality and support services is looking for a part-time Finance Director to provide independent financial leadership at Board level. Day-to-day accounting is outsourced, so this role is about strategy, commercial challenge and governance, and about making sure the outsourced finance function delivers.

The role

• Sit on the Board as principal financial adviser to the directors and shareholders
• Oversee management accounts, KPI reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cash flow across a multi-entity group
• Own statutory and consolidated accounts and lead the annual audit
• Manage banking and lender relationships, covenants and funding options
• Oversee tax, regulatory and governance compliance, and maintain strong internal controls and risk management
• Evaluate investments, acquisitions, disposals and capital projects
• Support the commercial performance of the group's property, hospitality and service businesses
• Set standards for, and hold to account, the outsourced finance team

About you

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with previous Finance Director or senior finance leadership experience
• Experience in owner-managed businesses, SMEs or entrepreneurial groups
• Strong technical knowledge (IFRS / Tax etc.)
• Experience managing banking relationships and funding arrangements
• Skilled in cash flow management, forecasting and business planning
• A credible, commercially astute Board-level adviser who can challenge constructively
• Able to work independently in a part-time, remote role

Experience in property, hospitality would be a huge advantage, and experience managing outsourced finance functions would also be useful.

The salary banding advertised is a guideline, the remuneration offered will be commensurate upon experience.
