Job description
This is finance with impact — half commercial partnering, half transformation.
This is a brand-new role, created to support the Commercial FD as the business scales.
It’s the perfect mix of commercial partnering and transformation. On one side, you’ll be embedded with divisional teams — working with sales, marketing, and brand leaders to drive performance, challenge assumptions, and make sure investment decisions fuel top-line growth.
On the other, you’ll be side-by-side with the FD and CFO on big-ticket projects: implementing forecasting tools, building a proper budget cadence, improving planning processes, and supporting M&A activity. This is finance shaping how the business runs, not just reporting on it.
It’s a people-led environment with plenty of challenge, but also the flexibility to manage your own time. You’ll be trusted to deliver, not tied to your desk.
The business is private equity-backed, growing fast, and acquisitive. Margins are strong, the brand portfolio is expanding, and there’s a real appetite for finance to step up and drive change.
What kind of background are we looking for?
We’re looking for a qualified accountant who’s already cut their teeth in a fast-paced, commercial environment. Someone who’s sat with the business, influenced senior leaders, and got comfortable moving between the numbers and the bigger picture.
Think less “month-end and reporting” and more “finance at the table, influencing decisions.” You’ll be working closely with divisional teams, marketing, and sales leaders on one side, and directly with the FD and CFO on projects that will shape the future of the business — new forecasting tools, sharper planning, even M&A.
If you’re commercially curious, like the challenge of shaping new processes, and want a role that’s as much about people as it is about numbers, this will feel like home.
What’s in it for you?
This isn’t a box-ticking role. You’ll be joining a PE-backed business that’s growing fast, acquisitive, and ambitious — so there’s a very clear progression path to FD for the right person. You’ll get real ownership, exposure at the top table, and the chance to see your work impact sales and brand growth directly.
The package:
* £80,000 base salary
* 15% bonus
* Equity from day one
* matched pension
* 25 days holiday + Bank holidays
* Hybrid working: 2–3 days in the office, with flexibility around your week
If you’re commercially sharp and want a role where finance is at the heart of driving revenue and brand performance, this is it.
