A leading mid-market Private Equity fund is recruiting a Senior Finance Manager for one of their newly created portfolio businesses. This business has been set-up to combine a recently acquired asset based lender with a number of high end retail stores.
This will Initially be a hands-on, standalone financial management role, however you will need to hire new team members when necessary. Reporting to the Managing Director and Private Equity fund you will have the following key areas of responsibility:
- Leading and co-ordinating all financial activity in this newly formed business. This will range from transactional activity through to the production of management accounts and year-end statutory accounts.
- Establishment of robust and scalable financial systems (Sage) and processes i.e. to provide accurate and insightful cost centre reporting.
- Ensuring that the Sage ERP system integrates across all retail stores to enable the fast and accurate validation of all store data.
- Daily reconciliation of the cash and loan book.
- Production of high quality cashflow forecasting and reporting.
- Delivery of a detailed monthly reporting pack for both the Board and Private Equity fund, containing both qualitative and quantitative information.
- Ensuring tight controls are in operation across the business to mitigate any potential risks.
Your profile:
A hands-on, qualified Accountant with excellent technical accounting skills. Well trained, probably from a large company, or accountancy practice environment, you will also need to demonstrate the ability to operate effectively in the detail and possess the skills to build a highly credible finance function. Some of your experience must have been gained in a cash focused business i.e. B2C loans / lending, or retail. Strong systems skills are essential as is the ability to communicate with senior level audiences. Exposure to Private Equity Investors and / or covenant reporting would also be beneficial.
