- Owning the statutory accounts and managing the external audit from start to finish
- Running the annual budget and reforecasts, with variance analysis that drives decisions
- Managing cash flow, working capital and banking relationships
- Making sure financial controls, processes and policies are robust and scalable
- Overseeing VAT, corporation tax and other compliance, working with external advisors
- Leading, developing and motivating the finance team
- Partnering with operational leaders to give clear, commercial insight on performance and profitability
- Driving process improvement and getting the most out of finance systems
- A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA)
- Proven experience as a Financial Controller or senior Finance Manager, ideally in a service-led or multi-site business
