• Give practical financial advice on investment, hiring, pricing and other commercial decisions.
• Maintain proportionate controls and coordinate tax, statutory and regulatory requirements with external advisers.
• Monitor working capital, currency exposure and payment processes.
• Improve finance systems, documentation and reporting so they remain effective as the business develops.
• Support governance, insurance, contracts and finance-related quality-compliance activity.
• Coach and develop the Finance Administrator while retaining appropriate review and oversight.

What you will bring

• Strong experience as a Finance Manager, Financial Controller or in a comparable senior accounting role.
• Confidence across management accounts, budgeting, forecasting and cash-flow planning.
• Knowledge of UK VAT, PAYE, tax and wider financial compliance.
• Commercial judgement and the ability to turn financial information into useful recommendations.
• Experience working with senior leaders and developing a member of a finance team.
• A practical, organised and independent approach suited to a growing business.
• ACA, ACCA or CIMA would be helpful, although relevant experience is equally valued.
