London (Holborn - 3 days a week) | Competitive salary
We're looking for a Head of Finance to join a growing group of technology businesses, working closely with the founder across both the day-to-day finance and the decisions that will shape what happens next.
This is a genuinely hands-on role. You'll be producing the numbers, not simply reviewing them, while bringing the commercial judgement to scrutinise performance, challenge assumptions and help assess new opportunities.
The role
You'll take responsibility for finance across the group, including:
producing management accounts, budgets, forecasts and cash-flow reporting
managing invoicing, payments and day-to-day financial controls
providing financial analysis and insight to support commercial decisions
preparing board and management reporting
ensuring the appropriate accounting and tax treatment of activity across different countries and jurisdictions
working closely with the founder to assess opportunities, identify financial risks and challenge assumptions
building financial models and scenarios to support investment and business decisions
supporting financial due diligence, data rooms and acquisition or disposal activity when required
working with accountants, tax specialists, lawyers and other external advisers where specialist expertise is needed
Who we're looking for
You'll be a qualified accountant with:
experience working within a technology or SaaS business
experience within a start-up, scale-up or entrepreneurial SME environment
strong management accounting, forecasting, cash-flow and financial modelling capability
experience of finance within a business operating across international markets, with an understanding of the accounting, tax and compliance considerations that come with cross-border activity
the ability to interrogate financial information, identify risk and make well-reasoned commercial assessments
some exposure to M&A, financial due diligence or transactions
confidence working directly with founders, CEOs or senior leadership
the appetite to remain close to the detail and personally deliver the day-to-day finance activity
