Head of Finance

My client is a privately owned SME business, with a long history and progressive growth plans to increase both market share and add new ventures. Working closely with the MD and local management team, this role has two chief aims; to ensure that the organisation has first class internal controls, reporting and procedures on a day to day basis and to provide commercial and strategic support to key decision making.  You'll have the support of a small finance team but will undoubtedly enjoy and revel in a hands on role that will see you in the thick of the day to day workings of the business. Your commercial acumen will be sought and challenged - especially when it comes to decisions that may well affect the overall direction of travel. As an individual, you'll need to have experience of holding a similar, SME senior finance role.  You'll enjoy the early autonomy of the role and the opportunity to work across the business. By nature, you'll need to be robust and see opportunities within the challenges that you'll face.Farrer Barnes Ltd does not discriminate on the grounds of age, race, gender, disability, creed or sexual orientation and complies with all relevant UK legislation.
