Our client is a software company who are now about to go through a period of growth and due to retirement are looking for a dynamic, commercially capable and driven Head of Finance. They are in the process of developing new products which will be released to the market later this year or next. This role would suit someone who is either looking for a dynamic Head of Finance role or who wants to make the step–up in your career to this level.

The Head of Finance is a standalone role (has a part–time Finance Assistant to work alongside). Their systems are well embedded, but there are opportunities for you to tweak these as you see fit to ensure they are efficient, effective and fit for the future.

The successful Head of Finance will:

  • Be a fully qualified finance professional (CIMA/ACA/ACCA).
  • Have demonstrable commercial experience.
  • Be ambitious and driven.
  • Be full of energy.
  • Be prepared to be hands–on.

  • Focused, resilient and with a positive "can do" attitude.
  • Have good IT skills.

You will be responsible for the day–to–day operations of a GBP5 million turnover software business. Their number of transactions is quite low, but the value is high; however, there are lots of project-based payments to manage.

You will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team and will work proactively with department managers and suppliers.

Key areas will be to run a small monthly payroll, work out sales commissions, oversee sales transactions, discounting product sales when appropriate, etc. The drive for this person will be to work closely with the CEO to advise and support plans for growth. To be a trusted advisor to support and challenge, and to bring good commercial acumen and strategic thinking.

Your role will see you:

  • Providing financial stewardship and decisive leadership of the finance function.
  • Managing partner and customer financial relationships.
  • Ensuring the timely and accurate production of monthly reports.
  • Working with the board to ensure that they have fit for purpose financial accounting information and reporting systems.
  • Ownership of lending relationships, cash management, Corporation Tax, VAT, FX and Treasury management, and all financing.
  • Payroll and expenses.
  • Financial planning and analysis.
  • Financial operations and compliance.
  • Risk management and corporate governance.
  • Financial systems and process improvement.
