A family run business with ambitious growth plans has an ambitious but achievable goal of increasing revenues over a 5-year period to £30m. This is slightly over double what the turnover is currently. To facilitate this growth they now seek a dedicated finance professional to bring the finance function in house and manage a small team. In addition to ensuring financial governance and preparing accurate financial reports, they seek a genuine finance business partner to drive strategic growth. The business has recently acquired a specialist packaging manufacturing company to bolster its core business trading model; creating high growth potential for both businesses that will be merged. What is in this for me? The business fosters a dynamic, collaborative work environment focused on growth and innovation. As the Head of Finance, you will be pivotal in driving the company's ambitious plans whilst developing and building a high-performance finance team. This is a truly dynamic and fast paced environment with a seat on the senior leadership team and this position is very much regarded as the number two to the managing director. In this role you will need to provide challenge and support to drive the P&L performance and initiatives to support the UK Business strategy.
