• Qualified Accountant (ACA or equivalent)
• Experience in financial reporting
• FP&A knowledge
• Fast track career to date with aspirations to become a Finance Director quickly

The Role

The successful Head of Finance is likely to take responsibility for the following:

• Leading all FP&A and monthly reporting
• Helping drive a world-class reporting function - budgets, forecasts, and planning
• Overseeing the preparation and presentation of the financial / statutory reporting
• Leading all group accounting and global consolidation
• Driving a culture of business partnering and insightful analysis
• Leading the audit process including the relations with the external auditors
• Contributing to the strategic planning and development of the wider business
• Driving continual improvement around processes, risk, and systems
• Helping build world-class reporting through model building
• Overseeing Tax and Treasury
• Building and maintaining a best-in-class cash flow forecast
• Leading and developing a brilliant finance team
• Managing processes across a global business, linking in with country finance teams
• Supporting the CFO and CEO on strategic projects and ad hoc work

Your Profile

We are looking for an ambitious Head of Finance, Controller, or Finance Manager; someone with aspirations of being a Finance Director.

This role will manage group reporting and FP&A, so we need someone who can understand both.
