Director of Finance. LilyLifestyle

NXTGEN are exclusively partnering with a high-growth international business in the search for a commercially focused Finance Director to join at a pivotal stage of its journey.

This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of a multi-entity international finance function within a business experiencing rapid growth and increasing complexity. The successful Finance Director will play a critical role in building a scalable finance function that supports decision-making, strengthens controls, improves visibility across performance, and enables future expansion.

This is a hands‑on leadership role where finance must evolve beyond reporting and compliance to become a true strategic partner to the wider business.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Full ownership of the international finance function across multiple entities
• Leading all reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management activities
• Improving financial controls, governance, and reporting accuracy
• Building scalable finance processes and systems to support continued growth
• Delivering meaningful commercial insight to support strategic decision‑making
• Managing audits, compliance, and external stakeholder relationships
• Leading and developing an international finance team
• Partnering closely with senior leadership to support business performance and growth

The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with previous experience operating within a senior finance leadership role in a high‑growth environment. You will possess strong technical finance capability alongside the commercial acumen required to influence decision‑making across the wider business.

Experience operating within international or multi‑entity businesses will be highly advantageous, alongside the ability to build structure, improve processes, and operate effectively within a fast‑paced environment.

In return, my client can offer a highly visible leadership position with genuine ownership, influence, and the opportunity to shape the future direction of both the finance function and wider business.
