Lead Talent Acquisition Director | Distinct Recruitment
Turnover doubled. Systems upgraded. A leadership team that actually want finance at the table.
This isn’t your typical “steady state” FC role. You’ll be joining a business that’s ambitious, well-backed, and growing fast — but still in that sweet spot where one person in finance can make a huge impact. The product is strong, relationships are solid, and the leadership team are hungry to keep pushing on. What they’re missing is someone in finance to bring it all together.
That’s where you come in. You’ll be the person who owns finance end to end: giving the board clarity on performance, helping directors make smart calls on projects, and making sure the basics are watertight along the way. You’ll work directly with the directors, have support from a fractional CFO, and lead two capable team members who keep things moving on the transactional side.
It’s broad, hands-on, and full of variety. One day you’ll be producing management accounts and cash flow forecasts. The next you’ll be sat with project teams, breaking down costs and risks. All while strengthening processes, tightening up reporting, and making the most of new systems that are already in place.
And the culture? Think modern offices with parking and breakout space, a sociable, down-to-earth team, and a leadership group who are ambitious yet genuinely supportive. It’s the kind of place where people work hard, back each other, and enjoy what they do — no egos, no politics.
What you’ll be doing:
* Running management accounts, budgets, and forecasts end to end
* Keeping projects and costs on track with clear reporting
* Overseeing ledgers, payments, VAT/CIS and payroll inputs
* Working directly with directors, project teams, and external advisors
* Tightening up processes and making the most of upgraded systems
Why it’s worth your time:
* 27 days holiday + bank holidays
* Modern office with parking, breakout space and a sociable, down-to-earth team
* Typically 4 days in the office, with 1 from home
* Clear progression as the business continues its growth journey
What you’ll bring:
* Strong management accounts and commercial reporting experience
* Confident with the nuts and bolts — ledgers, payroll inputs, VAT/CIS
* Pragmatic, hands-on, and happy to roll sleeves up
* Experience in project-based or operationally complex industries a plus
If you’ve been waiting for the role where you can own finance in a growing SME — and see the real impact of your work every single day — this is it.
