Group Finance Director

Most Finance Director roles promise “a seat at the table.”

This one is about building the table.

This is a family-owned business with strong values—not just the kind that get slapped on a corporate PowerPoint, but ones they actually live by.

They’ve grown to £40m turnover. Now, the plan is to scale to £100m in the next five years. At that point, they’ll look to secure private equity investment.

And that’s where you come in.

They need someone who can build a finance function that can handle serious growth. Someone who can drive commercial decision-making, not just count beans. Someone who can put the right systems, controls, and processes in place so that, when PE investors come knocking, they don’t find a mess.

You’ll be working directly with the owners, who know where they want to take the business. They just need a strategic, commercially sharp Finance Director to help them get there.

This isn’t a cushy, corporate FD role where you inherit a well-oiled machine and sit in endless meetings. This is about creating something that lasts. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, let’s talk.

What you’ll need:

  • You’ve done this before—growth, M&A, funding, PE investment
  • You know your way around commercial finance, forecasting, and financial strategy
  • You’re happy rolling up your sleeves—this isn’t a hands-off role
  • You understand what investors look for and how to make a business investment-ready
  • You actually care about building something instead of just managing numbers

The salary? It’ll be competitive based on your experience. But if you’re just in it for the paycheque, this probably isn’t for you.

If you like the sound of this, apply now. Or, if you want to find out more before throwing your hat in the ring, get in touch on 07710 239 215 or drop me an email jenny.martin@headstar.co.uk
