Head of Finance
£50,000
Retford
Are you an ‘FD of the future’? Are you someone with high ambition looking to join a growing SME business as their main point of contact in finance?
We are excited to be working with this agile SME poised for major continued growth. Currently £10m turnover and expecting to double in the next 3 years. You’ll join as Head of Finance / Financial Controller – a vital hands-on finance role reporting directly to the business founders.
This is a professional and well-managed business with a great team. The directors have strong core values and high integrity. It’s a down to earth but professional setting where you can make a real difference and be a key voice of the senior leadership team from day one.
You’ll manage a team of 2 in finance initially (sales and purchase ledger focused) and so you need a ‘sleeves up to the elbows’ approach to producing management accounts / MI and year end stats.
The role would suit someone qualified (CIMA or equivalent) with a track record of success as Finance Manager / FC / Company Accountant within a reasonably complex SME.
There is lots of exciting opportunity for ongoing growth and you will enjoy working through that journey with the Directors – shaping the controls, MI and month end pack to ensure the development of the finance team is keeping pace with the rest of the business.
You will give clear insight and guidance around budgeting, forecasting, financial control, banking, cash management, variances to expectation, margin and profit streams.
A really varied, commercially involved and broad finance role for someone who will enjoy making a real difference within a professional and aspirational SME.
If that isn’t enough there’s chance to be involved in an MBO down the line…
You need:
- CIMA or equivalent.
- A track record of success in a varied finance role within a growth SME.
- Excellent IT skills.
- Great technical accounting skills.
- Experience of managing a small team.
- A hands on approach.
- Confidence when managing internal and external stakeholders.
- Natural proactivity and drive.
