Job Description

Head of Finance, Castle Donington, 6-Month Fixed Term Contract
 £70,000 - £80,000 + Benefits Potential for Permanent Appointment

 Are you a commercially minded Head of Finance who enjoys building, improving and influencing rather than simply reporting numbers?

 This is a rare opportunity for a Head of Finance to join a growing £20m turnover business at a pivotal stage in its journey. With ambitious growth plans, investment in systems and a leadership team committed to continuous improvement, the successful Head of Finance will have the opportunity to shape the finance function, improve business performance and play a key role in the next phase of growth.

 Reporting directly to the COO, the Head of Finance will be far more than a traditional finance leader. This role is about providing insight, driving better decision making, improving processes and helping the wider business operate more effectively. The Head of Finance will work closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation, ensuring finance becomes a true commercial partner to the business.

As the Head of Finance you will be:
  
Leading the finance function and taking ownership of all management reporting activities 
Producing accurate and timely monthly management accounts 
Delivering meaningful commercial analysis, insight and recommendations to support decision making 
Developing and improving management information packs, KPIs and performance dashboards 
Leading budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis activities across the group 
Supporting strategic planning and long-term business growth initiatives 
Driving improvements in financial controls, governance and reporting processes 
Maximising the effectiveness of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations 
Managing cashflow forecasting and working capital reporting 
Overseeing statutory reporting, tax compliance and audit processes 
Working closely with operational teams to improve financial understanding across the business 
Identifying opportunities to streamline processes and improve efficiency 
Supporting acquisitions, integrations, refinancing activities and other strategic projects 
Developing the capability and structure of the finance team as the business grows 
Acting as a trusted advisor to the COO and wider leadership team  As the Head of Finance you will be:
  
Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) 
Previous experience operating as a Head of Finance, Financial Controller or senior finance leader 
Strong management accounting, reporting and financial control experience 
Ability to provide commercial insight rather than simply financial reporting 
Experience working within growing SME or mid-sized businesses 
Strong ERP systems experience, ideally Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O 
Experience improving processes, controls and reporting frameworks 
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills 
Comfortable working within a changing and evolving business environment 
Proactive, hands-on and naturally curious approach  What's On Offer

£70,000 - £80,000 salary, a 6-month fixed term contract with the opportunity for a permanent role and the opportunity to shape and develop the finance function
