Operating within a SaaS and data-led environment, the business is going through a significant period of growth and acquisition. This is a key leadership appointment, reporting directly to the CFO and taking ownership of the core finance function while supporting the continued integration of newly acquired businesses.

• Deliver accurate monthly management accounts, variance analysis, KPI reporting and board commentary
• Support the financial integration of acquisitions, including onboarding newly acquired businesses into group finance processes
• Oversee cash flow, working capital, intercompany balances and funding requirements
• Lead budgeting and forecasting across the consolidated group
• Manage lender reporting, covenant tracking and relationships with external finance providers
• Develop scalable financial systems, controls and processes to support continued growth
• Ensure accurate statutory, tax, payroll and audit compliance
• Produce high-quality reporting and financial insight for the CFO, board, investors and lenders

About you

• Qualified accountant – ACA, ACCA or CIMA
• Significant post-qualified finance experience
• Experience within SaaS, technology or a PE/VC-backed environment
• Exposure to multi-entity finance and acquisition integration
• Strong management accounting, budgeting and forecasting experience
• Experience managing and developing finance teams
• Understanding of SaaS financial metrics and IFRS 15 revenue recognition
• Experience of lender covenant reporting would be highly advantageous
• Comfortable working in a hands-on, entrepreneurial and fast-moving environment
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to work with senior leadership, investors and external partners

This is an excellent opportunity to join an acquisitive, PE-backed technology group at an exciting stage of its growth, with significant exposure to M&A integration, senior stakeholders and the continued development of the finance function.
