This is a unique opportunity for a strategic finance professional to play a key role in shaping how finance services are delivered to a diverse client portfolio while contributing to the continued growth of the wider business.
This role combines commercial leadership, client advisory, operational excellence and business development, making it ideal for someone who enjoys influencing strategy as much as delivering exceptional outcomes for clients.
The Opportunity

Key responsibilities include:
- Acting as a trusted strategic adviser to a portfolio of clients, helping them achieve their commercial and financial objectives.

- Ensuring the delivery of exceptional outsourced finance and advisory services across a broad client base.
- Working alongside senior leadership to develop new service offerings and enhance the client proposition.
- Championing innovation, technology and process improvement to deliver scalable, efficient finance solutions.
- Supporting the continued growth of the business through strategic planning and commercial decision-making.
About You
We're keen to speak with experienced finance leaders who combine technical credibility with a strong commercial mindset.
You'll likely bring:
- Significant experience within outsourced accountancy, business services, finance advisory or client-facing finance leadership.
- A successful track record of developing client relationships and growing revenue through exceptional service and commercial insight.
- Experience leading, mentoring and inspiring high-performing teams.
- Strong business development capabilities with the confidence to engage at Board and executive level.
- A deep understanding of what outstanding client service looks like within a professional services environment.
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification (or equivalent).
Whether you've built your career within practice, held senior finance leadership positions in industry, or bring a combination of both, you'll be excited by the opportunity to influence strategy, develop people and help shape the future of a growing business.
Why Apply?
- Join an ambitious organisation with exciting growth plans.
- Play a key role in influencing business strategy and client success.
- Enjoy the autonomy to shape services, develop people and drive innovation.
- Be part of a collaborative leadership team where your expertise will have a genuine impact.
