Head of Finance

I'm currently working with a well-established organisation in the education and training sector to recruit their next Head of Finance. This is a great opportunity for a commercially minded finance leader who wants to play a strategic role in a growing SME. This isn't a position where you simply maintain the status quo as the business is entering an exciting period of development and they're looking for someone who enjoys improving processes, building capability, and helping shape the next stage of growth alongside the senior leadership team.The role offers several excellent benefits including hybrid working (three days in the London office), 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays, a pension with employer contributions matched up to 7.5%, and a health cashback plan covering everyday healthcare costs and wellbeing support. You'll also have access to CODE Hospitality membership for restaurant and hotel discounts, daily lunch, and refreshments onsite, a cycle-to-work scheme, interest-free season ticket loan, flu jab reimbursement, and a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme.As the most senior finance professional in the business, you'll lead the finance function and manage an Assistant Management Accountant while acting as a trusted adviser to the leadership team. I'm particularly keen to speak with qualified accountants (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) who have led finance within an SME during a period of growth or transformation - such as scaling operations, supporting funding activity, implementing systems, or managing an office relocation.If you're a qualified finance leader who enjoys building and improving finance functions in growing businesses, I'd love to speak with you. Please get in touch to learn more about the role and the organisation behind it.
