Co-Founder IFF Talent. Working with Regional Business Leaders to build and transform teams. Executive Level Search, Interim Management & Senior…
A commercially focussed Head of Finance role with impact and influence - and a launchpad to FD.
This is the kind of role you take when you want to shape something, not just sit in the engine room of a corporate machine.
You’ll join a fast-growing SME that’s part of a highly acquisitive, ambitious group. They’re scaling - and you’ll be at the heart of that growth. Acting as the right-hand to the Managing Director, with a dotted line into the Group FD, you’ll play a key role in leading the finance function, driving performance, and delivering commercial impact.
But unlike in many large organisations - your work here will be seen, felt, and recognised.
What’s in it for you?
* Be the No.1 in Finance - Full ownership of finance for the subsidiary, with genuine influence across the business. End-to-end accounting experience is essential - you need to be comfortable with, and embrace, the hands-on side.
* Shape strategy with the MD - Be the MD’s key partner in driving profitability, efficiency, and growth.
* To drive forecasting, budgeting and and performance reporting on all commercial projects - bringing your analysis and business partnering skills to the fore
* Work across the business - Partner with Sales, Ops, and Commercial teams to support bids, contracts, pricing, and cost control.
* Stretch into commercial finance - Bring the numbers to life. Support decisions, challenge assumptions, and drive margins.
* Real projects that build your CV - Including exposure to acquisition integration and leading a finance systems migration.
* Career path into Group - A move into group-level leadership is a real possibility if you back yourself and perform.
* Be part of something fast-moving - This is a growth environment with energy, ambition, and pace. Your ideas will be heard.
* Progression that matches your potential - This isn’t a dead-end No.1 role. It’s a launchpad.
What you’ll be doing
* Leading the end-to-end finance function for the SME subsidiary (small team beneath you)
* Business partnering with the MD and wider management team
* Bringing performance and financial insight into strategic and commercial conversations
* Supporting bids, pricing, contract profitability, and margin improvement
* Leading budgeting, forecasting, and monthly reporting
* Supporting integration of new acquisitions into the business
* Playing a hands-on role in upcoming systems migration / ERP implementation
* Acting as a key voice at the leadership table
Who this is for
You’ll be CIMA / ACCA / ACA qualified, commercially sharp, and confident enough to back yourself in boardroom conversations.
You might have worked in a bigger business but want more ownership. Or you’re coming from a high-growth SME where you’ve already worn multiple hats. Ideally, you’ve had exposure to both - and now you want your own shop to run.
You’re ambitious. High-energy. Someone who enjoys both rolling up your sleeves and making an impact at the top table.
And you’re not just looking for “another job”. You’re looking for the next step in your leadership career.
Ready to take ownership of your own finance function - and your future?
