We are seeking an experienced and commercially minded Finance Director to join the leadership team in a pivotal Board-level role. This is a broad and rewarding opportunity for a qualified finance professional who enjoys combining strategic oversight with operational excellence — and who thrives in a dynamic, multi-entity environment.
This is far more than a traditional finance position. You’ll oversee the full spectrum of finance operations across multiple entities while acting as the key liaison with a larger international parent group.
As Finance Director, you'll report to the Managing Director, with regular engagement at Board level and with senior stakeholders across the wider group.
You will lead and develop an established finance function comprising qualified and part-qualified accountants, payroll specialists, ledger clerks and international finance support. The role offers the opportunity to refine processes, enhance reporting capability and strengthen financial controls across the group.
While strategic in scope, this role also requires someone comfortable being hands‑on when needed — a leader who understands the detail as well as the bigger picture.
You will be a professionally qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA or ACCA) with strong experience in:
You’ll bring strong IT and systems capability (advanced Excel essential; knowledge of Sage 200 advantageous), excellent communication skills, and the confidence to engage effectively with senior stakeholders.
Experience working within a group structure — particularly with exposure to US GAAP, SOX or international reporting frameworks — would be highly beneficial.
Just as important are your personal qualities: professional pride, resilience under pressure, sound judgement, initiative, and the ability to build strong working relationships across a diverse organisation.
This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact Finance Director role with genuine strategic influence. You’ll shape financial direction, support growth initiatives, and work closely with senior leadership in a complex and engaging environment.
If you’re ready to combine commercial insight with operational leadership at Board level, we’d love to hear from you.
Holiday: 30 days + Bank Holidays
Benefits: Group Life and Income Protection Insurance
