Great newly created role for a Head of Finance in a very ambitious and well supported business
We’re on the lookout for a commercially minded, qualified accountant to step into a pivotal Head of Finance role with a growing, ambitious business based just outside Glasgow. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who’s ready to bring their expertise to the table, lead a small but capable finance team, and play a key role in shaping the financial future of a dynamic company.
You’ll be joining at a crucial point in their growth journey – the business is performing well, with plans to scale further – and need someone sharp, hands-on, and commercially astute to ensure their financial strategy keeps pace.
What you’ll be doing:
- Taking full ownership of the finance function, ensuring robust financial controls and processes are in place
- Leading month-end and year-end processes, management accounts, budgeting, and forecasting
- Providing clear, insightful financial analysis to support key strategic decisions
- Partnering with the leadership team to influence commercial performance and drive growth
- Managing external relationships (banks, auditors, advisors) with professionalism and confidence
- Coaching and developing a small team, creating a high-performing, collaborative finance environment
What we’re looking for:
- Fully qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, ICAS or equivalent)
- Proven experience in a commercial finance leadership role
- Strong business acumen and a natural ability to translate numbers into real-world insight
- Excellent communication skills – someone who can engage with both finance and non-finance stakeholders alike
- A proactive, hands-on approach – not afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed
What’s on offer:
- Competitive salary – up to £65,000, depending on experience
- Hybrid working and flexible hours
- Supportive, forward-thinking leadership team
- Genuine scope to make your mark in a business that values initiative and innovation
Please note there may be some UK travel – typically once a month to England for 1 overnight stay
This is more than a numbers role – it’s an opportunity to shape strategy, influence growth, and be part of a business that’s going places. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
