Finance Director | £100,000 – £120,000 + bonus / suite of benefits | Chesterfield

The Opportunity

A chance to be part of something a little bit special.  You’ll be joining a profitable and rapidly expanding SME at the front end of their PE investment cycle. 

As the first true permanent FD into the business, you will have the opportunity to make a massive and swift impact.  You’ll be part of the full PE “scale to sale” journey – hugely rewarding and extremely valuable experience for the right candidate. 

It’s a business that is already performing exceptionally well in terms of YoY growth (revenue and profit).  The injection of PE investment & expertise creates an environment for supercharged scale up over the next 3-4 years. 

You need to be a hands-on, commercially astute and forward-thinking FD, able to instil robust controls and highly efficient process.  You’ll enhance the commercial reporting suite / board pack and present insightful MI to the leadership team and investors. 

It’s a chance to work in close partnership with the MD and existing Directors to drive exciting growth and future success within a professional, agile and highly aspirational SME (£20m – £25m current turnover).

This is a role that would suit a strategically aware, hungry and capable senior finance professional who enjoys the pace and challenge that comes with a business on the journey of transitioning from £20m to £40m+. 

You’ll be joining a collaborative boardroom of capable and respected Directors who have an excellent understanding of the levers of success within their market. 

It will be a brilliant 3-4 year journey for the FD that secures this position. 

Required:

• You’ll be a modern, ambitious and commercially aware Finance Director (CIMA, ACCA or ACA qualified). 
• Ability to credibly present highly diligent board packs to a senior audience (MD / Investor level). 
• You’ll have demonstrable experience of having a significant positive impact within a growing business (ideally PE backed). 
• You will be a hands on FD with no fear of drilling into the numbers and getting stuck into the nitty gritty as and when required. 
• A natural business partner who will enjoy getting out into the organisation to understand where levers of cost, revenue and profit live and how best to pull them all in the right direction!
• Experience of M&A / due diligence would be useful (targeted acquisition is potentially part of the growth plan). 

This is just a superb role for a driven and aspirational FD.  A chance to be a pivotal player within a challenging, interesting and rewarding growth story.
