Finance and Governance Manager

Since 2007, we’ve helped more than 22,000 US and UK founders and leaders feel more organised, more in control, and less stressed — by matching them with a remote fractional assistant who takes care of their to-do list.

We’re looking for a Finance & Governance Manager to oversee the day-to-day running of our finance function and help ensure the business continues to operate with strong financial discipline.

This is an opportunity for someone ready to step into a role with real ownership, taking responsibility for financial reporting, controls, and compliance while working closely with our leadership team and external advisors.

As you grow in the role, you’ll also have the opportunity to shape and strengthen how finance supports the wider business, improving systems, reporting, and processes as the company continues to grow.

This role is particularly well suited to someone moving from an accountancy firm into their first in-house finance leadership position, or someone who has worked within a finance team and is ready to take on broader responsibility.

You’ll join a long-established, founder-led business that combines stability with agility — giving you the chance to broaden your experience while helping support the continued growth of the company.
