Your new company

Our client is an SME organisation that is part of a larger, supportive group. Following a challenging period, they are focused on future growth and development and are looking for a Head of Finance to lead the finance function in a broad financial role, enabling you to experience a wide range of topics whilst still having oversight of all forecasting, cash flow and statutory reporting requirements alongside driving commercial success and performance.

Your new role

With a dual reporting line to both the site lead and through to the group, the Head of Finance will take a significant leadership role across all elements of Finance, establishing and developing an AP and AR team and installing software to enhance efficiencies. You will be responsible for all month-end and statutory accounts, regularly reviewing the effectiveness of internal controls covering financial and compliance controls and leading local statutory audits, and you will lead on capital expenditure reporting, weekly KPI and cash collection reports. As Head of Finance, you will prepare and present management accounts, financial statements, and reports to the senior leadership team as well as be responsible for all budgeting, forecasting and cash flows.
