Option 2) £70,000 – £80,000

This team will grow, and you’ll be tasked with hiring the team members and progression is guaranteed, the Finance Director role will be offered to this candidate when they have proven they are ready.

On your role, you’ll produce the Board packs, present at Board-level on a monthly basis inclusive of CEO, CTO and non-exec Directors, you’ll be the POC for audit, the bank, key stakeholders and improve/enhance processes in accounts. It’s hands-on, technical, commercial, strategic, operational…This role gives exposure to every level of finance.

The business is looking for qualified finance professionals, ideally with experience using modern tech such as PowerBi and some experience within industrial industries i.e engineering or manufacturing. Experience working within growing SMEs would be the icing on the cake.

On the culture, they are flexible, forward-thinking and modern. They offer hybrid working, flexible hours, the ability to work aboard, they take the staff on company holidays, company events, socials, the lot. It’s a fantastic set-up for a new starter to come in and implement new ideas, here, change is encouraged and championed.
