Head Of Finance

Description:

In this broad and varied role, you will take responsibility for overseeing the day-to-day financial operations, including accounts payable and receivable, payroll, and the general ledger. You will also manage and develop junior finance staff, with the opportunity to grow the team as the business expands.

Key responsibilities include preparing financial statements, budgets, and forecasts, as well as delivering monthly management accounts and month-end. You will ensure compliance with tax laws and relevant regulations and guarantee that financial records and processes are fully audit-ready for the yearly audit. In addition, you will provide valuable insights and analytics to support strategic decision-making for the founders and the board.

Given the company’s stage of growth and the nature of this role, there will also be a significant amount of ad hoc project work. You will have the opportunity to identify and implement process improvements to enhance financial efficiency and drive positive change across the finance function.

The ideal candidate will be a fully qualified accountant with proven ability to operate effectively within a manufacturing, distribution, and retail environment. You will have a strong understanding of financial processes and controls, coupled with excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
