Job Description & How to Apply Below
- Own the group P&L across Live, Marketplace and Field Vision Bars, with consistent event‑level margin visibility.
- Run a clean, timely month‑end close and build exit‑grade, board‑ready reporting by default.
- Own working capital strategy: factoring, facilities and payment‑terms across our seasonal, multi‑entity cash cycles.
- Lead financial planning, budgeting and the single source of truth for targets.
- Prepare the business for audit, due diligence and a possible future process.
- Partner commercially with the founders and leadership on pricing, margin and big decisions.
- Build and shape the finance team beneath you, starting with a finance assistant to own the transactional desk.
- Hold our advisors and tooling to account, and build a systems‑first, AI‑native function.
- A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), most likely with an audit or practice background early on.
- An experienced finance leader: FC stepping up to FD, an existing FD, or a Head of Finance ready for full ownership.
- Genuinely commercial. You turn numbers into a recommendation, not just a report.
- Strong technically: clean close, working capital, cash flow, controls.
- Comfortable as the most senior finance person in the room, holding the bar with advisors, the team and the board.
- Energised by a fast‑paced, high‑growth business where the function is still being built.
- Systems‑first and keen to use automation and AI to build something modern.
- Experience taking a business through an acquisition, sale or fundraise (either side of the table).
- Events, hospitality or another seasonal, high‑volume, complex business.
- Multi‑entity or group accounting: intra‑group recharges, consolidation.
- Profit‑share or partnership accounting.
