Salary: £100,000 - £120,000 plus a 10% bonus
Talent Guardian is delighted to be partnering with a well-established aviation business to appoint a Head of Finance. This is a key leadership appointment, reporting directly to the CEO and sitting at the heart of the leadership team, with responsibility for leading a Finance function of currently six people.
We're looking for a finance leader who can demonstrate both strategic capability and the ability to drive operational excellence. You'll combine strong financial stewardship with genuine commercial and operational leadership, acting not only as the guardian of financial control and compliance but as a trusted business partner who helps the business achieve its strategic and commercial objectives.
If you enjoy translating complex financial data into clear, actionable insight, and you'd relish shaping the finance agenda across a multi-entity business, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
Reporting to the CEO, you'll take ownership of the overall financial stewardship of the business. Your remit will span:
Finance leadership & team management — leading, developing and structuring the Finance team, setting clear objectives and fostering a culture of accountability, ownership and continuous improvement.
Financial reporting & control — delivering accurate, timely and compliant reporting across all entities, overseeing month-end, year-end and statutory processes, and preparing concise, insightful Board and Executive reporting packs.
Planning, budgeting & forecasting — owning the annual budgeting and forecasting cycles, developing robust financial models, and using driver-based forecasting to support strategic planning and investment appraisal.
Cash flow & working capital — leading liquidity planning, maintaining rolling cash forecasts, optimising working capital and managing banking relationships.
Commercial finance & business partnering — providing strategic insight and constructive challenge, supporting pricing, contract modelling and profitability analysis, and partnering with teams across Operations, Commercial, Procurement, HR and Legal.
Risk & financial governance — maintaining robust governance frameworks, strong internal controls and effective risk management.
Finance transformation, systems & BI — owning the transformation roadmap, driving reporting automation, improving data quality and reducing reliance on manual processes. How to apply
To apply, or for a confidential conversation about the role, please get in touch with the team at Talent Guardian. We look forward to hearing from you
