Director of Finance - Ivybridge - £80,000
Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been exclusively retained to source an experienced Director of Finance for a young and rapidly expanding services business that now trades across multiple continents. This is a full-time, permanent opportunity to be predominantly based at our client's architecturally designed headquarters in Ivybridge.
This is a newly created role within the business where the successful candidate will have the freedom to design and build financial systems, processes, and to recruit and develop a small finance team. The role encompasses both operational and strategic responsibilities, working closely with the CEO and a highly experienced management team, and will assume lead responsibility for the company’s ongoing financial strategy. Key responsibilities include:
1. Day-to-day management of the current financial health of the business and future financial strategy
2. Regular production of management information to be presented to the senior management team with full commentary
3. Reporting of statutory accounts
4. Working with the CFO and external stakeholders on business strategy and financial support
5. Developing and implementing digital systems and processes in preparation for future growth
6. Assuming a lead role in costing and forecasting for all entities of the business and future projects
7. Lead responsibility in cashflow management and budget setting
8. Developing strong relationships with external stakeholders, customers, and key suppliers
9. Project and materials costing analysis and planning
10. Overseeing payroll for a growing headcount of colleagues
11. Working with external accountants to prepare for the annual audit
This opportunity calls for an experienced finance leader with a background in commercial services or manufacturing. The successful candidate will be a professionally qualified individual (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), probably possessing upwards of 5 years PQE, and with the ability to lead and develop a future team of colleagues. It is likely that the successful candidate will have trained in practice and possess a good understanding of audit policies and statutory accounting. Experience of working with multi-currency income streams would be highly advantageous but not essential. Strong people management skills and the ability to communicate effectively across multiple departments and with external stakeholders are requisite. Most importantly, we’re searching for a super-dynamic, forward thinker with a problem-solving attitude: someone that wants to make things better, see things grow, and develop a long-term career with a highly motivated and energetic senior management team.
Curious? We hope so. For further details and to apply for this interesting proposition, please contact Steve Roach or Alex Callister quoting reference SR9086.
