We’re partnering with a privately owned business with a diverse portfolio spanning real estate and investment assets, who are looking to appoint a Head of Finance to take ownership of the finance function as the group continues to evolve.
This is a broad, hands-on role, ideal for an experienced finance professional who enjoys autonomy, variety and working closely with senior stakeholders in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.
The Role
As Head of Finance, you will oversee the day-to-day finance operations across multiple entities and investment structures. You’ll work closely with senior decision makers, both internally and externally to ensure accurate reporting, strong financial controls and effective financial management across the group.

About You

* Proven experience in a Head of Finance, Financial Controller, Senior Accountant or similar role
* Exposure to property, investments or complex group structures is beneficial but not essential
* Strong technical accounting and financial reporting skills
* Comfortable operating in a hands-on, multi-entity environment
* High levels of discretion, professionalism and attention to detail
* Confident working directly with senior stakeholders and advisers
* What’s on Offer
* Competitive salary and benefits package
