Head of Finance

Based in Tring, Hertfordshire, MRK Associates is exclusively partnering with this exciting business who are looking for a qualified accountant to join them as Head of Finance on a permanent basis working hybrid 2-3 days in the office.

This job would suit an ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified accountant looking to play a key role as a critical member of the senior leadership team, challenging assumptions and taking a lead position in effectively planning the future direction of the business and driving business performance and growth.

The business is an award-winning niche player in the entertainment industry that has won significant high-profile contracts in its short time since inception. Due to recent and future predicted growth, the finance function has been reviewed to create a Head of Finance position with the aim of moving this role into a Finance Director role in the future.

Duties will include:

• Leading, motivating and developing the finance function with a focus on the following areas: Financial Reporting, Strategic Planning, Business Information, tax, treasury, compliance and risk
• Support the CEO in areas of strategic planning, capital allocation, business cases, scenario planning and exit readiness
• Alongside the commercial and project teams, develop pricing strategies for our products and services
