This is not a BAU finance role. We are looking for a hands-on, transformational finance leader to be the CFO's No. 2 in a rapidly growing international manufacturing and retail business.

The business has grown at a significant rate. Now, the CFO is looking for a finance leader to help drive change, improve processes and controls, and lead ERP/system enhancements across the group.

What You'll Do:

• Lead, develop, and mentor the finance team across multiple locations.
• Drive transformation in finance - streamline processes, strengthen internal controls, and implement system/ERP improvements.
• Deliver group consolidated accounts, management reporting, and Board reporting.
• Manage cashflow, capex, FX, inventory, and working capital.
• Partner with commercial, operations, and supply chain teams to provide insight and support growth.
• Lead audits, statutory reporting, and regulatory compliance across all entities.

Who You Are:

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA, ACCA, or equivalent) with leadership experience.
• Strong technical expertise in consolidations, statutory reporting, multi-currency group finance, and audit.
• Experienced in driving ERP upgrades, improving processes, and embedding strong controls.
• A confident communicator and coach, capable of building high-performing teams and influencing stakeholders.

Why This Role:

• Shape and transform the finance function in a high-growth, entrepreneurial business.
• Competitive salary + bonuses + private medical for you and your family.
• Flexible working for the right candidate (later starts, early finishes, occasional ad-hoc home working).
• Career progression with increasing responsibilities, salary, and benefits.

This is your chance to be part of a business that has grown exponentially and is still ambitious for the future. If you thrive on change, challenge, and leadership, apply today.
