Head of Finance

Head of Finance - Central London - £80,000 - £90,000

Are you the person who brings calm when a business is evolving?

Do you enjoy creating clarity, strengthening controls and helping leadership make better decisions?

If so, this could be the role you've been waiting for.

We're working with a well-respected, purpose-led professional services business (confidential for now) looking for an experienced Financial Controller to provide stability and leadership during an important phase of change.

You'll work closely with a highly credible fractional CFO and senior leadership team, taking real ownership of the finance function - not just reporting the numbers, but helping shape what happens next.

What you'll be doing

• Leading monthly management accounts and cashflow forecasting
• Managing invoice finance relationships and credit control discipline
• Preparing budgets and rolling forecasts
• Strengthening controls, processes and reporting
• Mentoring a small finance team
• Partnering with operational leaders to drive better decisions

You'll likely be a great fit if you

• An experienced Financial Controller (or strong Finance Manager ready to step up)
• ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or close)
• Enjoy improving processes and bringing structure
• Confident with Xero and cloud-based systems
• Have worked in professional services / project-led businesses

Why this role?

Because you'll have influence here.

This is a people-focused business with momentum - and they want finance to be at the centre of decision-making, not just reporting after the event.

If you're looking for impact, ownership and good people around you, let's talk.
