Finance Director
Posted on May 30, 2026 by CV-Library
Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom
Accountancy
Immediate Start
£90k - £100k Annual
Full-Time
You'll shape the financial strategy of a £20m business on a clear path to £40m growth, doubling your impact and future leadership prospects. With international expansion already underway, you’ll guide the next phase of growth across global markets while strengthening your expertise in multi-entity finance and strategic planning.
This is a chance to work closely with the MD, where your insights won’t just inform decisions - they’ll drive them. You’ll also get access to share options, a matched pension up to 7.5% and a healthy annual bonus that rewards your long-term contribution.
On top of that, you’ll have the freedom to oversee and improve key business functions beyond finance - HR, IT and facilities - giving you broader operational exposure and more influence on how the business runs day-to-day.
What you'll do
You will be investigating, summarising, reporting on, and making recommendations on how to improve what they are doing. You will be leading the finance team and providing a high-quality service to all stakeholders.
You’ll work side-by-side with the MD, coaching P&L managers and supporting decisions that shape the company’s future.
Take ownership of financial management across international entities, with opportunities to lead new market entries and support expansion.
You’ll also oversee shared services, making sure HR, IT and facilities enable, not hold back, performance. With recent acquisitions in play, you’ll lead financial integration and help drive a smooth, high-impact growth journey.
What you'll need
Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with senior finance experience in an SME or complex division
Confidence in international operations and multi-entity structures
Pragmatic and hands-on approach, able to challenge the MD constructively and hold your position under pressure
Ideally based within commuting distance of Northampton, with four days per week in the office
