Vargo is supporting a growing group with the appointment of an experienced, hands-on Head of Finance to join the business on an interim basis.

This is a senior finance role cover reporting into the SMT. The successful candidate will provide financial leadership while overseeing the day-to-day running of the finance function across three entities within the group. The role combines financial reporting, commercial support, controls, cash management and finance project delivery.

This is an office-based position, working from the company's HQ.

• Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting and statutory compliance.
• Manage cash flow forecasting.
• Maintain strong financial controls, policies and governance frameworks.

You will be a qualified accountant with previous experience operating at senior finance leadership level. You'll be comfortable balancing strategic input with hands-on delivery and will have strong technical accounting, reporting, controls and team leadership experience.
