Finance Director - Plymouth - Circa: £85,000 + Company performance related bonus + future equity options
Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been exclusively retained to source an experienced Finance Director to join a young and very rapidly expanding services business that now trades across multiple continents. This is a full time, permanent opportunity which will be based at the company’s UK headquarters in Plymouth.
This is a newly created role within the business where the successful candidate will have complete autonomy in designing and implementing a full range of financial systems and processes, as well as recruiting and developing a small finance team. The role blurs the lines of Finance Director and CFO, with a broad balance of operational and strategic responsibilities. The FD will work closely with the CEO and a highly experienced management team, assuming lead responsibility for the company’s ongoing financial strategy. Key responsibilities include:
- Day to day management of the current financial health of the business and future financial strategy
- Regular production of management information to be presented to the senior management team with full commentary
- Full accounting for North American and European subsidiaries
- Reporting of statutory accounts
- Working with the CEO, senior management team, and external stakeholders on business strategy and financial support
- Developing and implementing digital systems and processes in preparation for future growth
- Assuming a lead role in costing and forecasting for all entities of the business and future projects
- Leading cashflow management and budget setting
- Developing strong relationships with external stakeholders, customers, and key suppliers
- Project and materials costing analysis and planning
- Overseeing payroll for a growing headcount of colleagues
- Working with external accountants to prepare for the annual audit
What we’re looking for: Almost certainly a professionally qualified individual (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), with experience gained in a number 1 or 2 capacity in a business operating above audit threshold. Commercial and strategic experience gained in a multi-layer company trading across an international landscape and working in multiple currencies is essential. Exceptional leadership, supervisory, and team development skills are required, along with high-level technology skills and the ability to design, implement, and develop ultra-efficient accounting systems and processes. Experience in the marine sector would be advantageous, but exceptional commercial experience gained elsewhere will also be considered.
The key here is sourcing a candidate with a natural talent to make things happen and enhance the business without needing constant guidance. This is an incredible opportunity for a genuinely ambitious and motivated individual, either currently operating at FD level or feeling ready for a challenge at a different level.
Curious? We hope so. For further details and to apply for this interesting proposition, please contact Steve Roach or Alex Callister quoting reference SR9285.
