Hertford, United Kingdom Harmonic Finance™ | Certified B Corp Full time

Finance Director | Specialist International Engineering Firm | Hertfordshire Our client, a specialist international engineering firm with a turnover of approximately £20 million and a strong balance sheet, is seeking a skilled Finance Director to lead their finance function.
Based in Hertfordshire, this is a strategic role reporting directly to the Managing Director and includes a seat on the board, giving you a direct influence on the future direction of this well-established, high-performing business with a global reach.
The Role: As the Finance Director, you will be pivotal in shaping the financial strategy and supporting the growth of the firm.
Leading a talented finance team, including a Financial Controller and Management Accountant as your 1 and 2, your responsibilities will include: Financial Strategy Development: Implement and manage financial strategies that align with the firm's growth objectives, leveraging the company's strong balance sheet.
Financial Integrity and Compliance: Maintain rigorous controls and ensure compliance with relevant financial regulations and industry standards.
Board and Leadership Collaboration: As a board member, work closely with the MD and senior leaders, providing insights that guide business strategy and decision-making.
Reporting and Analysis Leadership: Ensure the timely delivery of accurate financial reports, offering insightful data to support both operational and strategic planning.
Team Leadership and Development: Mentor the Financial Controller and Management Accountant, fostering growth and optimizing the finance function.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out: This position offers the chance to join a close-knit team within a high-retention environment—many colleagues have over 10 years of tenure, highlighting the firm's supportive culture and commitment to long-term employee development.
Here, you will find stability, innovation, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a specialist engineering firm with a strong track record of growth and excellence.
Skills and Experience: To be successful in this role, you will have: Qualifications: ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualification (or equivalent), with a strong grounding in financial and regulatory compliance.
Relevant Industry Experience: Significant experience in a finance leadership role within a manufacturing or R&D-heavy organization—ideally in sectors such as medical devices, electronic engineering, defence, optical or mechanical engineering, automotive or related fields.
Strategic Financial Leadership: Proven ability to develop and implement financial strategies that drive business performance and growth.
Collaborative Approach: Ability to work effectively with executive leadership and influence key decisions as a trusted strategic partner.
Operational Skills: Hands-on experience in financial reporting, controls, and compliance, coupled with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
About You: We're looking for a commercially minded Finance Director with the strategic acumen and operational expertise to lead in a globally-oriented engineering firm.
If you're a qualified finance leader with a background in R&D and manufacturing environments and a desire to influence from the board level, this could be a career-defining role.
Join a company known for its quality, commitment to innovation, and exceptional employee retention, where you'll play a key role in shaping the future of a respected, growth-oriented engineering firm.
Location: Hertfordshire Start Date: ASAP Salary: £120k-135k At Harmonic, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace.
We actively welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and assure you that every candidate will be thoughtfully considered for the roles we represent, without regard to race, religion, gender expression, disability, or sexual orientation.
