The successful candidate will work closely with the Directors and senior leadership team, playing a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of the group while overseeing all financial operations.

• Financial modelling and investment appraisals
• Identifying opportunities to improve profitability and operational efficiency
• Developing and implementing robust financial controls and reporting systems
• Supporting business strategy and long-term growth plans
• Providing commercial guidance and challenge to the Directors and senior management team

The Candidate

The successful candidate will be:

• ACA, ACCA, CIMA or similarly qualified (preferred)
• Commercially minded and highly analytical
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• A confident communicator capable of influencing senior stakeholders
• Proactive, driven and solutions-focused
• Able to operate strategically while remaining hands-on when required

Experience Required

Candidates from a variety of sectors will be considered; however, experience within the following areas would be particularly advantageous:

• Property Development
• Construction
• Property Investment
• Real Estate
• Multi-Company Group Structures
• Development Finance
• Asset Management
• Entrepreneurial or Owner-Managed Businesses

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a growing and ambitious business group where you will have genuine influence over strategic decision-making and future growth.

The successful candidate will play a key role in helping shape the next phase of the group's development, working directly alongside the business owners and senior leadership team.

For ambitious FDs seeking a challenging and rewarding opportunity with real autonomy and influence, this position offers an exceptional platform for long-term success.
