About the role We're hiring a VP of Finance to bring our finance function fully in house and scale it for the next stage of growth. Today, we operate with a fractional CFO and FC. This role will take ownership of the finance agenda from the fractional CFO, establish a strong operating rhythm, and hire an in house FC to run day to day finance operations.

You'll be a strategic partner across the business - balancing commercial insight with strong governance - and ensuring we stay transaction ready as we scale. What you'll be doing 1) Bring finance in house and build a scalable function Lead the transition from fractional support to a high performing in house finance team.

Ensure scalable policies and processes (e.g., revenue recognition, spend approvals, commissions). Step into detail when needed to unblock issues, raise quality, or meet critical deadlines. 5) Build the finance systems and data stack Define and deliver the finance systems roadmap (automation, reporting, spend controls, integrations). Improve speed and accuracy while reducing manual effort and operational risk. Strengthen data integrity so teams operate from "one version of the truth". 6) Own UK + US finance oversight and advisor relationships Oversee UK finance requirements and manage key external relationships. Own the US entity finance oversight: manage relationships with US accountants/advisors, coordinate US filings and compliance, and ensure group level consistency. Ensure cross border processes (intercompany, consolidated reporting) are robust and scalable. 7) Maintain transaction readiness Build and maintain the level of financial maturity required for future strategic transactions: clean reporting, strong controls, and diligence ready documentation. Support evaluation of strategic opportunities through modelling, scenario analysis, and commercial insight. What you'll bring Enterprise B2B SaaS experience (required) - you understand enterprise sales cycles, implementation realities, revenue dynamics etc. Proven experience in a high growth scale up, ideally having built or scaled a finance function through rapid growth. Strong leadership and hiring capability, with a track record of building high performing teams.
