Full job description

About us

Bill Plant Driving School is one of the UK's largest and most recognised driving school networks — three-time National Driving School of the Year and a national franchise operation with a substantial presence across the UK. We're a tight, high-performing team based at our head office in Ripon, North Yorkshire, and we take real pride in how we run our business.

We're looking for an experienced Head of Finance to cover a maternity leave period of 12–15 months. This is a broad, genuinely senior role — not a pure finance seat, but a business-critical position that also spans HR, debt recovery, and franchise contract compliance.

What You'll Be Doing

Finance & Reporting

Preparing monthly management accounts, cash flow forecasts, and board-level financial reporting
Maintaining financial controls, policies, and processes across the business
Managing AP/AR, payroll (Sage Intacct), and external accountant/auditor relationships
Producing KPI dashboards, bad debt reports, and ad hoc commercial analysis

Debt Recovery

Leading the full collections process — from initial chase through to CCJ applications and enforcement where needed
Drafting formal demand correspondence and liaising with solicitors and enforcement agents
Exercising sound commercial judgement on settlements and write-offs

HR & People Operations

Acting as the HR lead for the business — end-to-end employee lifecycle, policy compliance, and people operations
Managing disciplinary, grievance, and welfare cases with appropriate care and confidentiality
Administering HR systems (Charlie HR) and keeping employee records accurate

Franchise Compliance

Overseeing compliance with franchise agreements and managing escalated franchisee disputes
Applying knowledge of franchise law, DVSA regulations, and contract terms to protect the business
Liaising with legal advisors on complex or litigious cases

Team Leadership

Line managing a small finance and admin team, driving performance, and ensuring strong business continuity through handover documentation

What We're Looking For

Proven experience in a senior finance role — ideally as a Finance Manager, Financial Controller, or Head of Finance
Comfortable working across multiple disciplines: finance is the core, but HR and compliance exposure matters here
Experience with Sage Intacct or similar accounting software
Strong communicator who can present financial information clearly to non-finance directors
Experience handling debt recovery, including formal legal proceedings — desirable but not essential
CIMA, ACCA, or ACA qualified (or qualified by experience)

What We Offer

25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
Company pension scheme
Free on-site parking at our Ripon head office
Bill Plants benefits package
A broad, autonomous brief with genuine senior leadership visibility from day one
Three-time award-winning national brand with a strong team culture

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: £50,000.00-£55,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company events
Company pension
Cycle to work scheme
Free parking
Health & wellbeing programme
On-site parking
Sick pay

Work Location: In person
