Finance Manager

Remote working (UK) | £60,000 - £65,000 | High-Growth, Investment-Backed Technology Business

Are you a newly qualified or recently qualified accountant looking for an opportunity to take genuine ownership, work directly alongside an experienced CFO and play a key role in building a finance function from the ground up?

The ideal candidate to be considered is someone who is practice trained and has now stepped into industry and is looking for their next move into a Finance manager level position. Or is a newly qualified CIMA / ACCA within an industry position and has a strong management accounting background.

We're partnering with an ambitious, investment-backed technology and data business that is entering an exciting phase of international growth, with expansion underway across the US and Europe.

Following recent investment, the business is bringing its finance function in-house for the first time and is looking to appoint a Finance Manager who can help build the financial infrastructure, processes and reporting required to support its next stage of growth.

Importantly,
you don't need to have already held a Finance Manager position.

The business is particularly interested in speaking with ambitious, hands‑on accountants who have strong month‑end and management reporting experience, enjoy improving processes and want to develop their careers within a growing technology business.

This isn't about finding someone who simply maintains an existing finance function.

It's about finding someone who wants to help build one.

The Opportunity

You’ll become the first hire into a newly established in-house finance function, working directly with an experienced CFO who has an extensive track record of building and scaling finance teams across international businesses.

This is a genuinely broad position, combining financial control, management reporting, commercial exposure and finance transformation.

Initially, you’ll take ownership of the day‑to‑day accounting and month‑end processes, while helping establish the systems, controls and reporting infrastructure the business needs as it scales.

As the finance function develops, there is a clear intention to introduce additional support, allowing you to move into a broader Financial Controller position.

You’ll also gain exposure to international expansion, board reporting, financial forecasting and the continued development of the business’s finance technology.

One of the particularly attractive aspects of this opportunity is the emphasis on AI and automation.

The CFO is keen to build a modern, efficient finance function, using technology to reduce manual processes and allow finance to spend more time providing meaningful commercial insight.

You don’t need to be an expert in AI or automation, but you should be curious about how technology can improve the way finance operates.

• Take ownership of the month‑end close, including reconciliations, journals and management accounts.
• Maintain accurate financial records and ensure strong financial controls.
• Manage revenue recognition and deferred income across recurring revenue streams.
• Support the preparation of monthly board packs and management reporting.

• Support the development of financial models and scenario planning.
