Finance Director

£20.9 - £24.5 per hourEstimated
About the job

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced and commercially minded Finance Director to join a rapidly expanding, investor–backed business operating in an exciting industry.

The company are an SME business based in the Orpington area.

This is a pivotal leadership role for a strategic and hands–on finance professional who thrives in a fast–paced, entrepreneurial environment. Reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the Board and external advisers, you will lead the financial strategy of the business whilst helping drive ambitious UK and international growth plans.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the company's financial strategy, planning and performance.
  • Partner with the CEO and Board on strategic decision–making and growth initiatives.
  • Own budgeting, forecasting and long–term financial planning.
  • Drive profitability, cost control and operational efficiency across the business.
  • Oversee monthly management accounts, board reporting and statutory reporting.
  • Ensure robust financial controls, governance and compliance frameworks.
  • Lead cash flow forecasting, treasury management and banking relationships.
  • Support investor relations and shareholder communications.
  • Manage external stakeholders including auditors, banks, legal advisers and tax specialists.
  • Support corporate transactions, acquisitions, fundraising and international expansion projects.
  • Improve financial systems, reporting capabilities and operational processes.
  • Lead, mentor and develop the finance function while promoting commercial awareness throughout the organisation.

An essential requirement is that candidates are fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) and have previous experience leading a finance function within the e–commerce, entertainment or SaaS sectors.

This would suit someone who can offer a good level of strategic guidance working closely with the board but also have a 'roll your sleeves up' work ethic and happy to be hands on within the finance department.

In return the company are offering a competitive salary and package to be discussed at interview stage. A hybrid working model is also on offer.

Due to the expected high volume of applicants, only suitable candidates will be contacted.
