This would suit a commercially aware, ambitious, modern-thinking Head of Finance / Finance Director looking to be part of a growth story.
This is a game-changing opportunity to be part of a build journey within an ambitious, forward-thinking SME. The business is currently in the £13m turnover region and is gunning down £30m+ through organic expansion and acquisition in the next 3 years.
You'll join the executive board as FD / CFO – working closely with the aspirational and highly capable business owner / Group MD.
It's a pivotal hire – you'll join as a hands-on FD within an agile and exciting SME. You'll be the right-hand-person to the Group MD and become part of the fabric of the business. It will be an exciting ride and there is clear appetite to invest in well-managed rapid growth and expansion.
