Head of Finance Birmingham A Head of Finance is needed to join an SME technology company that specialises in technology in the built environment. The Head of Finance would need to be an intelligent, passionate and caring finance person to help the company scale and grow in line with their clients' and industry demands. The company's beginnings were humble, with their founder cycling around London with a rucksack full of wires, drill bits and audio-visual equipment. They've come a long way since the early days, but some things have stayed the same - like their down-to-earth, easy going nature and passion for doing things with the goal of providing a great experience. Due to ongoing expansion they are now seeking a Head of Finance to play a key role shaping finance processes, strategies and a finance team. Joining as the Head of Finance your role will consist of managing the day-to-day activities of the finance department, collaborating with the management team and others across the business to ensure a great track record in keeping debtor and creditor days as close to where they should be, as well as other key finance tasks. Once you're settled (6-9 months), expect to establish a strong finance strategy that will drive the company forwards as they look to scale. Previous experience as a Head of Finance is not necessary as this vacancy is suitable for someone who is ready to take that step. To qualify... You should be a Head of Finance / Senior Finance Manager / Financial Controller / Chief Financial Officer / CFO or similar with a great attitude and a CV that shows the following: You're experienced, or feel comfortable working with, manager-owned businesses and/or high growth SMEs (ideally within technology or construction sectors, but that's not a necessity); You have experience operating finance around projects and service agreements; You love helping businesses to grow and shape strategic decisions, but you will happily roll your sleeves up to 'get the job done' - including necessary but mundane tasks. Experience of working with Xero or a similar software would be an advantage. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Head of Finance to have a real chance at impacting a company's growth and evolution. In return the Head of Finance will receive a competitive salary, company pension and 33 days holiday (which includes bank holidays and 3 days for closure over the Christmas period).
