Month end: Own the month-end close and make it faster and more accurate as the business grows.

Controls: Close out audit recommendations and build a controls framework fit for the next stage of the business.

Process improvement: Improve and automate finance processes, using AI and systems to reduce manual work.

Business partnering: Work closely with the FP&A team towards a common goal of accurate, timely numbers, and with the wider business to build controls into how we buy, spend and pay.

Technical accounting: Lead on complex accounting areas and any changes in accounting standards.

Finance operations and tax: Oversee invoice processing, payments, banking, cash forecasting, VAT, corporation tax and R&D claims.

You'll have:

ACA qualification, with audit training at a Big Four or mid-tier firm.

Post-qualification experience as a Finance Manager or in a similar role within a high-growth business.

Experience leading or supporting an external audit and preparing statutory accounts.

Strong technical accounting knowledge

A track record of improving the month-end close, controls and finance processes as a business evolves.

Experience implementing finance systems and automation, with an AI-first approach to reducing manual work.

Advanced Excel skills and experience with Xero or  similar.

The ability to communicate clearly with auditors, advisers and non-finance stakeholders.

High standards of accuracy, real ownership of the numbers and the confidence to challenge constructively.

A proactive, collaborative approach and comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

It's a bonus if you have:

Experience in a technology, digital health, subscription or D2C business.

Experience implementing new finance systems or tools.

A track record of raising the standard of a finance function.
