We’re on the lookout for a commercially minded, qualified accountant to step into a pivotal Head of Finance role with a growing, ambitious business based just outside Glasgow. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who’s ready to bring their expertise to the table, lead a small but capable finance team, and play a key role in shaping the financial future of a dynamic company.

What we’re looking for:
* Fully qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, ICAS or equivalent)
* Proven experience in a commercial finance leadership role
* Strong business acumen and a natural ability to translate numbers into real-world insight
* Excellent communication skills – someone who can engage with both finance and non-finance stakeholders alike
* A proactive, hands-on approach – not afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed
What’s on offer:
* Competitive salary – up to £65,000, depending on experience
* Hybrid working and flexible hours
* Supportive, forward-thinking leadership team
* Genuine scope to make your mark in a business that values initiative and innovation
Please note there may be some UK travel - typically once a month to England for 1 overnight stay
This is more than a numbers role – it’s an opportunity to shape strategy, influence growth, and be part of a business that’s going places. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
