Enterprise Blueprints is a leading IT architecture consultancy. Our passion has driven our growth over 15 years and led to an acquisition by Bain & Company in 2023. Operating as a Branded Service Line within Bain has allowed us to retainour culture and collaboration whilst opening even more doors to exciting projects and opportunities in the IT architecture space
(see https://enterpriseblueprints.com& https://Bain.com)
As a result of the acquisition, our finance demands have grown exponentially and we are looking to grow our team.
From a Finance perspective over the last 12 months, we have embarked on a transformative journey developing an in-house function to meet our growth in business and reporting demands post-acquisition. We have successfully implemented more robust financial processes and controls, streamlined reporting mechanisms, enhanced our forecasting capabilities and have partnered more closely with the business to support the company's ambitious growth trajectory.
We expect to continue to grow significantly over the next few years including expansion internationally in the US, Asia and Australia and this role will play a key part in driving the business forward.
With our dynamic and rapidly expanding environment, there is opportunity for a driven individual to not only contribute but for the right person to grow into a role of leading the finance function.
