| Description: | Tresco, Isles of Scilly WHAT WE CAN OFFER Most obviously, we are offering a unique opportunity to excel in your chosen profession in an environment that is unique, beautiful, remote and pared back. If this isn't your primary reason for considering the role, if you're just applying for any CFO job, please stop here because it's unlikely to work for you. Nonetheless, we value your competence and experience, so the package is competitive for the UK south west. ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for an experienced CFO to oversee all financial aspects of the business and drive the company's financial strategy and planning. You will be responsible for all financial activities of the business and help to shape and implement the future strategic vision of the company. The CFO will report to the Chief Executive Officer and be integral to the family board. Whilst the high-level and strategic focus is vital, the CFO will get up close to the routine and often mundane parts of island financial management - bedding in new systems, cash control, optimising seasonality and so on. This is an entirely new role at this level, so we do not yet have a set view on how the organisation structure will look. This will depend on your specific skills and experience and we will involve you in that process. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR As head of finance, you will be a reliable professional with broad knowledge of all accounting, financial and business principles. You will bring strategic vision, an eye for detail and be an effective leader who can guide the business to profitable decisions. You will be comfortable as a hands-on leader of a small team, as well as reporting to and advising the CEO, the board and family on all financial matters. HOW TO APPLY Apply through this site with a CV. In return, we'll send you full information and more about the timetable so you are fully informed. Hopefully, this will pique your interest further and you'll then confirm your interest with a covering letter that helps us understand why you want this role. | |
