Head of Commercial Finance

A PE-backed services group at an early, exciting stage of growth is looking for a senior finance leader to establish and lead its commercial finance function.

The role

Reporting directly to the CFO, you’ll shape how the group plans, forecasts and measures performance. It’s a hands-on role for someone who can quickly understand the commercial model and run with it.

• Turn that data into forecasts, and sharpen the KPIs and insight the board and investors rely on
• Lead the monthly performance review and partner with business leaders to turn the numbers into decisions
• Be the finance voice on acquisitions, from modelling through to bringing new businesses into group reporting
• Improve data quality and automate reporting as the group scales

About you

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA)
• Senior FP&A or commercial finance background, ideally PE-backed
• Experience supporting acquisitions and integrations
• Commercially minded with strong modelling skills, and credible with senior stakeholders
• Happy to build things with limited structure
