* Investor Reporting: Prepare financial reports and analyses for company investors, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and alignment with company strategy.

* Strategic Financial Planning & Analysis: Assist the owners in developing long-term financial strategies aligned with the company’s growth objectives. Provide insights through in-depth financial analysis, forecasting, and scenario planning. Advise on the financial implications of business decisions, including potential risks and rewards of strategic initiatives.

Ensure compliance with all relevant financial regulations and standards, both domestically and internationally. This includes overseeing internal controls, insurance coverage, and ensuring the integrity of financial data.

Qualifications & Experience:

* Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent), or qualified by experience.

* Previous experience as a Financial Controller, Head of Finance, or potentially Finance Director in a smaller company.

* Experience working in a service business with a turnover of £10-50 million, developing robust financial controls and contributing to business growth.

* Experience in a multifaceted business with overseas entities, handling multiple currencies.

* Previous involvement in systems implementation and improving financial processes.

* A hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude, with strong attention to detail and a commitment to excellence.

* Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively and influence stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.

* A genuine care for people and a desire to contribute positively to the company culture.
