Help Shape the Future of One of Hertfordshire s Most Diverse Family-Owned Estates Not every Head of Finance role is simply about reporting the numbers. Some are about helping shape the future of a business. This is one of them. Aldenham Estate is a long-established, family-owned business with a diverse portfolio spanning residential and commercial property, London Elstree Aerodrome, Home Farm Glamping, farming, events and sustainable land management. As the Estate continues to evolve, we are looking for an experienced and commercially minded Head of Finance to join the leadership team. This is an opportunity to influence strategic decisions, strengthen commercial performance and modernise the finance function - while remaining close enough to the detail to make a genuine impact. If you are equally comfortable producing insightful financial reporting, challenging assumptions, supporting investment decisions and driving business improvement, we would love to hear from you.

Operating through a number of companies, partnerships and trusts, the Estate combines deep-rooted family ownership with an ambitious approach to long-term stewardship. Its vision is to ensure sustainability on all fronts - increasing biodiversity, creating employment space and making the Estate more accessible through new amenities, activities and events. The Estate is now investing in stronger financial systems, reporting and controls to support its next phase of sustainable growth. The Opportunity This is not a traditional Head of Finance role focused purely on governance and historic reporting. You will become a trusted adviser to the Directors, helping shape commercial decisions while leading the finance function through its next phase of development. Working alongside an experienced finance team, you will lead strategic financial direction, business planning, commercial performance and systems transformation across a varied, multi-entity organisation.

Commercially curious and pragmatic, you will be comfortable navigating a family-owned, multi-entity environment where everything may not fit neatly into a standard corporate structure. You will be equally confident presenting to Directors, evaluating investments, improving systems and rolling up your sleeves when required. You ll Likely Bring • ACA, ACCA, CIMA or an equivalent professional qualification • Significant post-qualification experience in a senior finance leadership role • Strong commercial finance expertise spanning budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and investment appraisal • Hands-on experience producing management accounts, Board reporting and financial analysis • Experience operating across a multi-entity structure • Strong knowledge of financial controls, governance and statutory reporting • Experience improving finance systems, reporting and internal controls • Experience implementing or replacing finance platforms • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills • A pragmatic, collaborative and hands-on approach • Experience within property, estates, hospitality, leisure, aviation, farming or another asset-rich organisation would be valuable. • Knowledge of Sage 50, Re-Leased, partial exemption VAT or cloud-based finance systems would also be beneficial.
