Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, duties will include:


  • Manage and mentor a small team.
  • Prepare and review management accounts for review with the COO.
  • Perform month-end tasks, including balance sheet reconciliations, stock valuation reviews, accruals, prepayments, and fixed asset management.

  • Monitor cash flow to identify trends, anticipate potential shortfalls, and implement strategic measures to optimise financial stability and liquidity.
  • Prepare quarterly VAT returns, ensuring accurate VAT treatment for each transaction.
  • Promote a culture of continuous improvement across the organisation.
  • Play a key role in the implementation of new systems.
  • Act as the primary contact for banks, funding houses, investors, and during investor reporting.
  • Liaise with auditors at year-end.


The ideal candidate for this role will have prior experience as a Financial Controller and possess a proactive, "hands-on" approach. Exceptional mentoring abilities and gravitas are essential for effectively liaising with both internal and external stakeholders. Additionally, experience in implementing new systems and advanced Excel skills for scenario planning and comprehensive data analysis are highly desirable.


If you are ambitious, enjoy being an integral part of a Senior Management Team, and are eager to contribute to an organisation on its growth journey, this position offers more than just a routine role. This could be the opportunity you are looking for.
