- Drive high-quality reporting, forecasting, and board-level insight
- Manage investor and lender relationships, including funding rounds and covenant reporting
- Oversee financial control, compliance (including FCA-regulated activity), and risk management
- Support ongoing systems improvement and legal entity simplification
What We’re Looking For:
- Experienced Finance Director or CFO from a scaling or regulated environment
- Strong technical background in group finance, forecasting, and commercial modelling
- A strategic thinker who is also comfortable rolling up their sleeves
- Skilled communicator and stakeholder manager at board level
- ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified
What’s on Offer:
- Executive role with broad remit and strategic influence
- The chance to shape the future of a scaling FinTech with significant backing
