The successful candidate will be responsible for the monthly reporting process, financial controls, month-end processes, reconciliations, payroll oversight, VAT, supplier payments and the day-to-day running of the finance team. They will also support the CFO with board reporting, forecasting, budgeting, fundraising support and statutory reporting requirements.

Person specification

The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant, likely ACA, ACCA or CIMA, with strong experience in a Financial Controller, Finance Manager or similar role.

They must be comfortable in a hands-on SME environment where the finance function is still developing and where practical involvement, ownership and attention to detail are required.
