Head of Finance / Finance Director Designate
Location: Greenford, London – On Site for 6 months, then Fully Remote
Salary: Competitive + Performance Bonus
Qualifications - ACA, ACCA, CIMA
We're seeking an ambitious and commercially minded finance leader to join a growing UK manufacturing business as Head of Finance, with a clear pathway to Finance Director.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants more than just reporting numbers. You'll take ownership of the entire finance function, work directly with the Managing Director and Board, and play a key role in shaping the future of the business.
The successful candidate will lead financial reporting, cashflow management, forecasting, compliance, KPI reporting and commercial analysis, while driving process improvement, systems modernisation and the development of a scalable finance function.
You'll also gain exposure to acquisition activity as part of an ambitious buy-and-build growth strategy.
The role is based at our manufacturing facility in Greenford, London. For the first 6 months, we require you to be on site to build relationships with the operational teams, understand our manufacturing processes, and establish strong connections with colleagues across the business. This initial period is crucial for embedding yourself within the company culture and gaining comprehensive insight into our operations.
After the initial 6-month period, this role transitions to fully remote, providing you with the flexibility to work from anywhere while continuing to drive our finance function forward. We use modern collaboration tools to maintain strong team connectivity and ensure seamless communication across the organisation, whether you’re working from home or visiting the Greenford site for key meetings and strategic planning sessions.
About You
Ideal candidates may currently be a Head of Finance, Financial Controller, Finance Manager, Senior Management Accountant or Finance Business Partner with strong manufacturing experience and SME background. Proven experience working in a manufacturing environment is essential, along with a clear understanding of production processes, supply chain dynamics, and the unique financial challenges of the manufacturing sector. A desire to progress into a Finance Director role is also important.
Manufacturing industry experience is essential – we are looking for candidates with a demonstrated track record in manufacturing finance, who understand production planning, inventory management, and the operational complexities unique to the manufacturing sector.
The Opportunity
The business has ambitious growth plans, including a buy and build acquisition strategy that will create significant opportunities for the right individual.
You will work closely with the Managing Director and Non Executive Chair, helping to provide the financial insight, controls and infrastructure needed to support both organic growth and future acquisitions.
Finance today performs the core functions well. Finance tomorrow needs to become a strategic driver of business performance.
Your role will be to help us get there.
Key Responsibilities
You will have responsibility for the full finance function, including:
* Monthly management accounts production
* Financial reporting and analysis
* Cashflow forecasting and management
* General ledger management
* Sales ledger
* Supplier payment runs
* Payroll administration
* VAT and statutory compliance
* Balance sheet reconciliations
* Budgeting and forecasting
* KPI reporting and business performance analysis
