Full job description

Head of Finance

Are you a dynamic finance leader ready to shape the financial future of a major UK brand? National Express is looking for a Head of Finance to lead our UK & Ireland Coach Finance team.

In this pivotal role, you will oversee everything from transactional finance and financial reporting to management accounting. You will lead a skilled team to ensure a right first time accounting environment, collaborate closely with FP&A and Group Finance, and drive improvement initiatives that make a real impact across the business.

This role is based in the West Midlands, placing you at the core of our operations.

What you will do

Lead & Inspire: Directly manage and mentor the Coach finance team, driving their professional development and establishing clear succession plans.
Master the Close: Oversee robust month end closing procedures, reviewing and challenging results to ensure absolute accuracy alongside FP&A.
Own the Numbers: Deliver half year and year end reporting in line with Group schedules, managing statutory accounts, tax disclosures, and accounting position papers.
Manage Audits: Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external auditors, taking ownership of deliverables and relationship management.
Drive Cash Flow & Forecasting: Develop balance sheet reporting, indirect cash flow forecasts, and lead direct 13 week cash flow forecasting into Group Treasury.
Ensure Strong Governance: Maintain robust internal controls, carry out periodic balance sheet deep dives, and ensure compliance across areas like IFRS 15 revenue recognition and IFRS 16 lease accounting.

What you will bring

Professional Qualifications: Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with at least 5 to 7 years post qualification experience.
Leadership Experience: A proven track record of leading, developing, and motivating high performing finance teams.
Technical Excellence: Deep understanding of UK and international financial reporting standards, with experience handling external auditors and Group Finance teams.
Analytical Skills: Strong problem solving capability, proficiency in relevant financial software, and a sharp focus on continuous improvement.
Collaborative Mindset: Exceptional communication skills, a strong work ethic, a true team player mentality, and a good sense of humor.
Desirable Extras: Industry experience, a background in driving finance change projects, or fluency in Spanish are all major pluses.

What you get for bringing the energy

We value our leaders and offer perks that make a real difference:

Free Travel: Complimentary bus and coach travel across the National Express network for you.
Travel for your Plus One: Free travel for your nominated person or partner.
Financial & Health Security: A solid company pension scheme, life assurance, and comprehensive wellbeing support via our Employee Assistance Programme and private online GP service.
