Our client is a fast growing PE backed business and they are now looking to recruit a Finance Director to join the Board as the business embarks on the next stage of its growth.

· Ensure overall leadership of company accounting and financial management function underpinned by effective financial controls
· Develop KPIs that support the company’s management and development

· Continue to formulate financial plans in accordance with the strategy determined by the Board
· Ensure accounting policies comply with relevant accounting standards

Importantly the successful candidate for this role will have strong interpersonal, communication and presentation skills with a high degree of EQ.

Exposure to a deal led environment, whether as a lead or in a support role, would be advantageous as would experience of working in an outsourcing/ shared service business.
