As a key member of the Senior Management Team, the Finance & Commercial Director works closely with the Managing Director to support the delivery of the company’s strategic objectives, while also maintaining a functional reporting relationship with the Group CFO to ensure consistency of financial reporting, accounting policy, treasury, and control frameworks across the group.

The post holder acts as a trusted advisor, strategic partner, and ambassador for the business, contributing financial and commercial insight to support sustainable growth, value creation, and long-term decision making. The role requires active participation in strategic planning, leadership decision making, and engagement with group and external stakeholders.

The Finance & Commercial Director provides leadership across financial planning, control, cash management, governance, risk, tax oversight, and commercial insight. A critical aspect of the role is the preparation of high quality, accurate, and timely board and group reporting, ensuring clear analysis and communication to support informed decision making at both company and group level.

Oversee financial control and statutory reporting under UK GAAP, ensuring compliance with all applicable standards and regulations.
Maintain awareness of IFRS standards and manage any UK GAAP to IFRS differences arising from group reporting requirements.
Prepare and deliver monthly, quarterly, and annual board packs and group reporting, ensuring exceptional quality, insight, and timeliness.
Act as the primary financial interface with the Group CFO on reporting, accounting policy, controls, and financial governance.

Provide high quality financial and commercial analysis to support decision making, investment appraisal, and performance improvement.
Partner closely with the Head of Commercial and wider leadership team to drive revenue growth, margin improvement, and commercial discipline.
Establish, monitor, and report on KPIs across finance and commercial functions, taking corrective action where required

Intercompany, Transfer Pricing & Group Compliance

Oversee intercompany transactions, balances, and reconciliations, ensuring accuracy and transparency.
Ensure compliance with group transfer pricing policies and documentation requirements, working closely with group finance and external advisors as required.
Support audits and reviews relating to intercompany arrangements and cross border transactions.

Tax Oversight

Maintain strong oversight of the company’s tax framework, despite the outsourcing of tax return preparation and submission.
Ensure appropriate understanding and management of corporation tax, VAT, payroll taxes, and other relevant tax matters.
Act as the key internal contact for external tax advisors and group tax teams, ensuring risks are identified and managed proactively.

Governance, Risk & Controls

Maintain strong financial governance frameworks aligned with both local statutory requirements and group policies.
Lead the identification, assessment, and mitigation of financial, operational, and strategic risks.
Ensure effective internal controls, policies, and procedures are in place and operating effectively.
