We are delighted to partner with Redmayne Bentley, a long-established, partner-led investment trading LLP with over 150 years of heritage. With 7 partners and a growing portfolio of assets and clients, the business is on a journey of sustainable & strategic growth. Their culture blends tradition with innovation — and values a long-serving team while embracing change, technology, and continuous improvement.

We are seeking a Head of Finance to lead our finance function through a period of transformation and growth. This is a pivotal role for someone who has “been there and done it” — a seasoned finance leader who can bring structure, stability, and strategic insight to a dynamic environment.

Key Responsibilities
• Lead and develop the finance team (currently 12, including 2 direct reports)
• Oversee financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting
• Drive improvements in financial processes, controls, and systems (AI, automation, robotics)
• Ensure compliance with financial regulations including MiFIDPRU, CASS, and capital adequacy
• Partner with senior leadership to support strategic decision-making and business growth
• Manage relationships with external auditors, regulators, and stakeholders
• Support the integration of new hires and team restructuring following recent changes

What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves:
• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent)
• Proven experience in a senior finance leadership role
• Strong background in financial services (investment/trading preferred)
• Experience managing managers and growing teams
• Track record of improving processes and driving efficiencies
• Strong business partnering and FP&A capabilities

Nice-to-Haves:
• Experience in a partnership or LLP structure
• Exposure to AI, automation, or finance transformation projects
• Comfortable navigating legacy systems and modernizing them
• Deep understanding of CASS, MiFIDPRU, and capital regulations

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a respected, long-standing firm with a forward-thinking mindset. Help shape the future of the finance function during a critical growth phase. You will have the backing of a supportive leadership team committed to improving, progressing, and doing things better.

A great opportunity to make a lasting impact in a role that’s ready for the right leader.
