Job description

Our client is a high-growth, private equity-backed Operational Real Estate business. The role offers hybrid working, based near West London.

Operating in a dynamic SME environment, the business is embarking on an buy-and-build strategy with a number of further acquisitions in the pipeline. As they scale toward a PE exit over the next few years, they are looking for a high-calibre, commercial Finance Director to take full ownership of the function, drive commercial performance, and lead on the modernisation of the business/finance function.

You will have total responsibility for all financial matters. This is a highly commercial role where you will be tasked with driving profitability, protecting and expanding operating margins, and partnering directly with the PE house to rigorously model, evaluate, and execute strategic investment opportunities that support a scalable platform.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Act as the key finance business partner to the CEO, Chair, and the private equity investors.
  • Lead, mentor, and professionalise a lean finance team to support the expansion.
  • Manage all financial reporting, Management Accounting, tax, covenant management, and cash flow forecasting.
  • Manage banking relationships and deliver rigorous PE-facing reporting.
What we are looking for:
  • A highly ambitious, technically sound, ACA-trained qualified accountant.
  • Proven experience operating as a hands‑on Financial Director within an SME or PE-backed environment.
  • A track record of driving change, implementing systems/automation, and scaling a business.
  • M&A and integration experience is desirable
  • Experience within property, operational real estate,hospitality/leisure, facilities management or other asset-backed businesses.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a definitive number one role, lead a major business transformation, and directly share in the success of a PE exit.
