- Recommend and lead improvements to optimise cashflow and accrue income across the group.
- Work closely with external advisors to ensure robust financial processes and strategic alignment.
What we're looking for:
- Qualified accountant with a PLC or private equity background.
- Strong balance sheet expertise-financially savvy with the ability to spot priority areas and articulate solutions.
- Proven experience in working capital management and cashflow operating models.
- Advanced modelling and forecasting skills, with exceptional Excel proficiency.
- Skilled at presenting insights and long-term trends to senior stakeholders, including boards and investors.
- A collaborative mindset, with the ability to influence at the highest level.
What's in it for you?
- Direct access to the CFO, CEO, and board, giving you high-level influence and visibility.
- The chance to collaborate on financing initiatives and work closely with private equity sponsors and major lenders
- There's some great benefits on offer as well; Equity, Bonus, Share save scheme, Private Healthcare, matched pension, life assurance, enhanced sick pay, 25 days holiday with the option to buy or sell which also increases to 30 days with time served, enhanced maternity pay up to 6 months full pay
