Opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping strategy and future growth of the business.

This was hands-down one of best meetings I’ve ever been to, with a company and MD anyone would be genuinely excited to work for…You will business partner, form relationship with key stakeholders and the Board, be a financial sound-board to the MD, drive strategic decision-making and operate as the anchor to not only finance, the entire business.

Working for a is highly profitable and cash-rich SME, for the person coming into the role, there is a huge opportunity for personal and professional development. The business is growing with t/o set to increase significantly over the coming year following the signing of a new contract worth over £3million. This, alongside all existing and pipelined work means the person who comes into this role needs to be highly ambitious and able to meet the demands of a scale-up.

Overseeing a well-established finance team of 2 who cover all AP/AR work, your focus will be to produce the monthly management accounts, maintain a 13wk rolling cashflow forecast and provide the Directors with strategic insights to drive profitability and growth.

Chatting with the MD, he’s very open and honest about the fact that certain financial processes and systems could be improved, so he’s all-ears to new ideas and procedures to improve efficiencies. He’s keen to see you implement new ways of working so it’s a phenomenal opportunity to really put your own stamp on the role. For anyone who’s voice isn’t heard in their current role, look at this as the perfect opportunity not only have your say, but be heard.

With support from a portfolio FD who works for the business on a part-time basis, he is there to mentor you and ensure you have as much support as you need whilst integrating into the business and he’s absolutely committed to filling any knowledge gaps if you have any – he’s a phenomenal mentor.

Having visited the offices and chatted at length with the MD, what’s of the upmost importance of him is someone who will align with their company culture.

It was so refreshing for the MD to facilitate a meeting where we could meet the whole team; we chatted with Sales, Account Managers, the Finance Department, the Commercial Director and the portfolio FD. This has given us the opportunity to ask the team what it’s really like to work there, and also meet the finance department who you will be managing.

What’s clear from these conversations and just from looking around the office is that the company-culture is phenomenal. The team-dynamic, the collaboration between desks, the way everyone asked if we wanted a brew, you can clearly see an office culture of warmth and teamwork – it’s somewhere you would go to work and genuinely enjoy your job, cheesy to say but it’s true.

On your profile, experience working within the fast-paced environment of an SME is key, someone who keen to develop their skillset and someone who in genuinely passionate about growing a business and adding significant value not only to finance, but the whole operation.
