Exeter, United Kingdom Trial Balance Full time

Most applicants for this opportunity aren't going to be the right fit. A pretty negative opening gambit, right? Well, not necessarily.
What separates this Head of Finance opportunity from others is that our client is thinking ahead. What the job looks like on day one is, for the right person, likely to look very different on day one of year two. A job that develops this quickly is going to require a particularly gifted candidate.
Trial Balance Consulting have been exclusively reengaged by a past client, one of Exeter's most exciting tech-focussed enterprises in its growth stage. They've tasked us with sourcing their Head of Finance, a genuinely exciting, senior level appointment and one of pivotal importance for the company.
The employer: An entrepreneurially spirited, venture-funded and fast paced business, the company has covered a lot of ground in achieving its expansion plans. Driven by a highly experienced, energetic and dynamic senior management team, the business has a stronghold in their innovative sector, with visions for sustainable and profitable growth. The successful candidate will work closely with, and be mentored by, a highly experienced CFO.
The opportunity: This is more than a Head of Finance role because this employer is emphatic that they want the successful candidate to become their next FD/CFO. From day one the HoF will assume the lead on managing the financial health, systems and day-to-day operations of the business. Supported by a small team of direct reports and working as part of the senior management team, the successful candidate will play a crucial role in generating critical management information for multiple areas of the business. Key responsibilities include:
Assume overall responsibility for the day-to-day operational finance function and digital systemsProduce comprehensive monthly management information with full commentary on financial performanceAttend monthly financial review meetings with directors and shareholdersCashflow and budget setting, and reporting on each area of the businessAct as a key financial contact to external stakeholders, building and developing longstanding business relationshipsEnsure efficient preparation and submission of all aspects of statutory reporting, working closely with chartered accountants and auditorsAged debtor managementVAT and tax reporting and filingDesign, implement and develop digital accounting systemsSupport the CFO in strategy planning and deliveryDevelop, mentor and support a growing team of financial colleaguesThe person: We're looking for a highly ambitious, dynamic and commercially astute accountant; professionally qualified (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), with significant post qualification experience. The successful candidate will require demonstrable experience of influencing decision making, and implementing performance/profit improvement initiatives, often working with non-financial stakeholders. The business is technology focused and they seek to recruit an IT savvy individual with experience in developing efficient and up-to-date digital accounting systems, as well as manipulating MS Excel at an advanced level. The role would be highly suited to a career driven individual seeking rapid progression to director level.
