Finance Manager B Corp Food Challenger Brand

Finance Manager | B Corp Food Challenger Brand | West London (Hybrid)

Harmonic is thrilled to be partnering with one of the UK's fastest-growing organic health and wellness brands as they enter an exciting new phase of scale-up growth. This is a fantastic opportunity to join the business as their first Finance Manager, reporting directly to the Founder and working closely with a Fractional Finance Director, taking full ownership of the finance function.

Having already doubled revenue over the past 12 months, the company is now forecasting another major leap, aiming to grow turnover from £6-7 million to £14-15 million over the next year. This impressive growth will be driven by strong momentum with national grocery and e-commerce listings (including Waitrose, Sainsbury's, Tesco, and others), an expanding product range, and the development of new production facilities.

The team has recently grown to over 30 people and is preparing to move into a new production site, with further facility expansion planned to meet rising demand.

This is a true number one in finance role, offering the opportunity to build and shape the finance function from the ground up. There is clear scope to evolve into a Head of Finance position as the company scales. The role would suit someone commercially minded, detail-oriented, and excited by the opportunity to support growth in a values-driven SME environment.

About the Company:

Our client is a B Corp-certified business and market leader in delivering high-quality, nourishing products made from locally sourced, organic ingredients. Their products are also known for helping reduce food waste across the supply chain. With a mission rooted in sustainability and accessible nutrition, the company is combining rapid commercial growth with a strong sense of purpose.

The Role:

• Take full ownership of budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial planning
• Lead on setting up and managing Capex spend as the company expands its production capabilities
• Monitor cash flow and working capital, identifying opportunities for cost savings and efficiency
• Oversee day-to-day finance operations including AP, AR, and payroll
• Produce monthly management accounts, board packs, and financial reports for key stakeholders
• Manage and support a small finance team (currently two), with responsibility for building out the wider finance function
• Ensure full tax and regulatory compliance and coordinate with auditors
• Build financial models and establish meaningful performance metrics
• Drive continuous process improvement and support broader commercial decision-making
• Partner closely with the Founder and Fractional Finance Director to influence strategic growth

What We're Looking For (Essential):

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, ICAS or equivalent)
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• High level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Nice to Have (Non-Essential):

• Previous experience in a fast-growth SME environment
• Familiarity with Xero and Google Sheets
• Background in FMCG, retail, hospitality, or manufacturing
• A genuine passion for sustainability and purpose-led business

Salary: £55,000 - £65,000

Benefits:

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Hybrid working (up to 2 days from home)
• Generous staff discount on products

Location: West London (Hybrid)
