Jobbeschreibung

Ethiq is partnering with a fast-growing data and AI consultancy to find their first in-house finance hire. They want an ambitious finance professional who is ready to take the next step, own the finance function from day one, report directly to the COO, and grow into the Head of Finance role as the business scales.

If you're a Financial Controller, Finance Manager or senior Finance Analyst who wants that step up but can't see a route to it where you are, this is it.

This is a hands-on, commercially focused role. You'll work closely with the sales and delivery teams and give the leadership team a clear view of revenue, utilisation, margins and cash. You'll also build the financial foundations the business needs for its next stage of growth and investment.

What you'll be doing:

• Owning the finance function end to end: management accounts, bookkeeping oversight, budgeting, rolling forecasts, accounts payable and receivable, and cash management
• Revenue operations: managing the services revenue lifecycle from SOWs and rate cards through invoicing, revenue recognition and cash collection
• Financial modelling: building integrated P&L, cash flow and balance sheet models, with forward planning and scenario modelling around hiring, pricing and growth
• Commercial insight: tracking utilisation, project and client margins, backlog and pipeline, and turning the numbers into clear recommendations
• Working with external advisers on statutory accounts, corporation tax and VAT
• Compliance: taking ownership of the company's ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus frameworks. No prior experience is needed, just a structured, process-driven mindset
• Building and improving systems, reporting and processes as the business grows

What you'll bring:

• ACA or ACCA qualified (strong finalists will also be considered)
• Finance experience within IT services, technology consulting, a systems integrator or a similar professional services business. It doesn't need to be your current role
• An understanding of how services businesses make money: utilisation, day rates, project margins and revenue forecasting
• Strong management accounting and Excel modelling skills
• A highly analytical, organised approach, and the energy and drive to roll up your sleeves and build something
• The ambition to step into a Head of Finance role

Nice to have:

• Experience in a growing or investor-backed business, especially exposure to funding rounds
• Exposure to ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials or a GRC platform such as Vanta

Why apply?

• A genuine step up: a first-finance-hire role with a clear path to Head of Finance
• Direct partnership with the COO and real influence over how the business grows
• A remote-first, high-energy team in a specialist consultancy
• A competitive salary plus bonus, private healthcare and pension
