The Company
A fast-growing, PE-backed e-commerce group is looking for a hands-on finance professional to take ownership of day-to-day finance operations and help build out financial control as the business scales. Backed by an international private equity investor, the group operates remotely with its registered office in London.
The Role
This is a blended Finance Manager / Finance Controller position for someone equally comfortable running the books and building the controls around them. You'll take full ownership of transactional finance while also acting as the senior finance presence supporting the leadership team and incoming fractional CFO.
Key responsibilities:
Full ownership of day-to-day transactional finance — purchase and sales invoicing, expenses, and cash control
Management of weekly and monthly cash flow, with tight oversight given the pace of the business
Building and strengthening financial controls, processes and reporting as the business scales
Preparing management accounts and supporting month-end close
Acting as the key finance point of contact for the wider business and board
Working closely with an incoming fractional CFO on reporting, forecasting and investor updates
Supporting on ad hoc finance projects as the group grows
About You
Proven experience in a Finance Manager or Finance Controller role, ideally within e-commerce, retail, or a fast-paced SME/scale-up environment
Comfortable working hands-on with transactional finance as well as higher-level reporting and control
Experience with SaaS-based finance/accounting systems strongly preferred
Confident operating with autonomy in a remote-first environment
Able to start at short notice
Experience in a PE-backed business is an advantage but not essential
Strong communicator, comfortable presenting numbers to non-finance stakeholders
What's on Offer
£85,000–£90,000 salary (or equivalent day rate for interim/fractional candidates)
Remote-first working
The opportunity to shape the finance function of a growing group from the ground up
Direct exposure to PE ownership, board reporting and a fast-moving commercial environment
