Overview
Recruitment Advisor specialising in Accounting, Finance and Commercial placements
About the Role
This is a pivotal role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment. You will be responsible for building a robust finance function and professionalising our back-office operations. While the role starts with a strong operational focus, it will evolve into a more strategic position as the business grows.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and develop the finance function, including management accounting, financial reporting, and financial controls.
* Implement and refine cost codes and cost control systems across various spend categories and ensure these are all recorded in the Xero accounting system.
* Oversee all aspects of company administration and compliance, including company secretarial duties.
* Lead on commissioning the new integrated CRM which will handle all reservations, stock and EPOS transactions.
* Provide senior-level financial and commercial advice to the leadership team.
* Support investment, divestment, and third-party negotiations.
* Review contracts and contribute to the development of professional infrastructure.
* Be willing to roll up your sleeves—handling everything from high-level strategy to day-to-day financial tasks.
About You
We are looking for someone who can operate at all levels—strategic and operational—with the flexibility to grow with the business.
You will bring
* A recognised accounting qualification (e.g. CA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA).
* Experience in a scale-up or high-growth SME environment.
* A practical, hands-on approach with the ability to build systems from the ground up.
* Strong commercial acumen and the ability to advise at board level.
* Experience supporting investment or M&A activity is a strong plus.
* A flexible mindset—happy to take on non-finance tasks when needed.
Ideal for candidates who would like a high-level impactful role on a part-time basis.
