Are you ready to steer the financial strategy of a growing SME, transforming it into a scalable powerhouse? Can you combine hands-on expertise with strategic vision to drive growth and deliver real impact? Cult Furniture, an SME with sky-high ambitions is looking for a Head of Finance / Finance Director to join our team.


In this role, you’ll lead the financial journey of Cult Furniture, guiding our ambitious growth plans and shaping our future. This isn’t just about numbers – it’s about knowing how to navigate a business through change, creating structure where needed, and unlocking untapped potential.

  • Compliance and Audit: Ensure compliance with laws, policies, and regulations, keeping us on solid ground.
  • Risk Management: Identify opportunities and risks, crafting strategies to maximise growth and reduce exposure.
  • Team Leadership: Inspire and develop the finance team, encouraging innovation and high standards.
  • Cash Flow Management: Optimise cash flow strategies to maintain a strong trading position.
  • Taxation Strategy: Ensure adherence to tax regulations, with clear and compliant strategies.
  • Strategic Input: Work closely with senior management, providing financial insight to shape company strategy.
