As the first dedicated finance hire post-carve out, you will be the architect of the financial future of the organisation. You won't just be "managing" a department; you will be designing the systems, selecting the ERP, and establishing the controls that allow the business to scale. Requirements: Establish Independence: Lead the financial separation from the parent company, ensuring a clean break and operational continuity. Build the Blueprint: Design and implement robust financial processes, from AP/AR and payroll to complex monthly reporting cycles. System Implementation: Evaluate and deploy a fit-for-purpose tech stack (ERP, expense management, etc.) that balances automation with scalability. Strategic Partnership: Act as the right hand to the CEO/Founders, providing the data-driven insights needed for fundraising, board reporting, and commercial decision-making. Governance & Compliance: Ensure we are audit-ready and compliant with all statutory requirements from the jump. The candidate: This role would suit a technically brilliant accountant who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty in a spreadsheet or a software integration. Qualified: ACA (or equivalent) is essential. Time spent in a large, structured corporate or Big 4 environment, so you know what "good" looks like. However, will have also operated in a start-up or scale-up where you had to build something out of nothing. You have a track record of implementing systems that actually work for the people using them. Comfortable with ambiguity and the fast-paced pivots of a carve-out environment. This isn't just a "maintenance" role. This is a chance to put your thumbprint on a business at its most pivotal moment. You'll have the autonomy to build the finance function you've always wanted, supported by the security of an established revenue stream and the excitement of a start-up culture.
