Finance Director

Ready to fast-track your finance career? This is a great step-up opportunity 

Join a business on a clear growth path, and put your energy, curiosity and eye for technology to work shaping its financial future. You'll help guide the next phase of growth across global markets - building serious expertise in multi-entity finance and strategic planning far faster than you would in a typical role at this stage.

You'll work directly alongside the MD, where your ideas and analysis won't just get noted - they'll genuinely influence decisions. It's the kind of exposure that usually comes years later in a finance career, and a real opportunity to fast-track your development toward a leadership role.

You'll also get access to a great benefits package and a healthy annual bonus that rewards your long-term contribution.

On top of that, you'll have the chance to get involved beyond finance - supporting HR, IT and facilities - giving you broader operational exposure and a real say in how the business runs day-to-day. Perfect if you're keen to build a well-rounded, commercially minded skillset early.

What you'll do

You'll investigate, summarise, report on, and recommend improvements - getting your insights in front of senior leadership from day one. You'll support the finance team in delivering a high-quality service to all stakeholders, with plenty of scope to grow into leading it.

You'll work closely with the MD, getting involved in coaching P&L managers and supporting decisions that shape the company's future - brilliant experience to have on your CV early in your career.

You'll take on financial management across international entities, with opportunities to get involved in new market entries and expansion.

You'll also get exposure to shared services, helping make sure HR, IT and facilities support the business rather than slow it down. With recent acquisitions in play, you'll be part of the team driving financial integration - a great chance to build experience in an area many finance professionals don't see until much later in their career.

What you'll need

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), with experience in an SME environment
• Genuine enthusiasm for international operations and multi-entity structures - you don't need to have done it all before, but you should be excited to learn fast
• A pragmatic, hands-on approach, with the confidence to speak up, ask questions and hold your own in the room
• Comfortable with technology and quick to pick up new systems and tools
