Four days a week. A business on the up. Real ownership from day one.
Not a bad combination, is it?
Campbell Grove Talent are partnering with an exciting, fast-growing company based in Halifax that’s recently secured funding and is now ready to build a finance function that keeps pace with their ambition. This is where you come in.
This is a hands-on finance role for someone who wants to get their teeth into something meaningful, without it taking over their life. Four days a week means you’ve got time for the things that matter outside of work too, whether that’s family, hobbies, or just actually switching off on a Friday.
The Role:
You’ll be the go-to numbers person in the business, sitting close to the leadership team, owning the numbers and making sure the financial foundations are as strong as the growth story. Management accounts, budgets, forecasts, VAT returns – the full picture.
There’s a small amount of transactional finance in the mix too. The business is at that brilliant, slightly chaotic stage where everyone chips in. It won’t be that way forever, and you’ll have a say in how the finance function develops as the team grows.
This is the kind of role where you can walk in on Monday, make a decision, and see what happens because of it. If that sounds like your kind of environment, keep reading.
What you’ll be doing:
- Producing monthly management accounts and owning financial reporting
- Supporting the SLT with structuring how finance should looks moving forward including process and system improvement work
- Budgeting and forecasting
- VAT returns and keeping HMRC happy
- Rolling your sleeves up on transactional finance when needed
- Being a genuine partner to the leadership team, not just the person who sends the numbers over
- Helping shape what the finance function looks like as the business scales
What we’re looking for:
- A qualified or qualified by experience accountant
- Comfortable being a senior finance person in the room without a big team around you
- At home in an SME or fast-growth environment, experience working for a PE backed business would be a real advantage but not essential.
- Genuinely excited by a business with real momentum behind it
- Looking for a role that works around your life, not the other way around
Salary advertised is FTE, so this will be pro rata to the 4 days advertised.
