Are you a hands-on finance professional seeking a leadership role in an SME? Reporting to the CFO, you will take full responsibility for the day-to-day finances of the business, playing a key role in financial operations and strategic decision-making.
You will oversee all financial operations, ensuring accurate reporting, compliance, and strategic financial planning. Your responsibilities will include:
1. Preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports
2. Managing budgets and cash flow forecasts
3. Analysing operational costs to improve efficiency
4. Overseeing accounts payable and receivable, payroll, VAT returns, and tax compliance
5. Providing expert financial advice and supporting business expansion decisions

Ideally, you will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with experience in a similar role, preferably within an SME environment. Experience with financial software such as Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage would be an advantage.
Culture is very important; you will need to have a personality as it’s an open-plan office with lots going on.
