Finance Director for a Property Investor and Manager

Your new company

Join a dynamic, family-owned real estate firm renowned for creating innovative spaces in some of London’s most sought-after locations. With a diverse portfolio of projects, this company is entering an exciting phase of transformation and is seeking a strategic finance leader to guide them through a financial restructuring aimed at boosting efficiency and driving sustainable growth.

Your new role
As Finance Director, you’ll lead a dedicated finance team and work closely with the Board to shape the company’s financial future. You’ll be instrumental in both day-to-day operations and high-level strategic planning, ensuring robust financial controls and accurate reporting. This is a hands-on leadership role with significant influence across the business.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement financial strategies, policies, and procedures.
  • Design, track, and refine key performance indicators (KPIs) to support business goals.
  • Prepare and present management accounts and statutory financial reports.
  • Lead fundraising initiatives and manage relationships with lenders and financial institutions.
  • Build and maintain robust financial models to support growth and investment decisions.
  • Oversee all core accounting functions, including bookkeeping, accounts payable/receivable, payroll, and contract compliance.
  • Mentor and develop the finance team, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

What you'll need to succeed
This is a fantastic opportunity for either an experienced number 1 or a Finance Controller ready to step up, seeking a more dynamic, fast-paced environment with direct access to the Board and a seat at the table for key financial decisions.
  • A recognised professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA).
  • A track record of supporting scale-up or high-growth environments.
  • A hands-on approach with a willingness to get involved in the detail.
  • Demonstrated leadership in developing and managing finance teams.
What you'll get in return
  • A pivotal role in a fast-growing company with real influence over its financial direction.
  • The chance to build and shape the finance function.
  • Direct exposure to the Board and involvement in strategic decision-making.
  • Competitive salary, performance-based bonuses, and a comprehensive benefits package.
  • A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture that values innovation and initiative.
