Head of Finance \n Borehamwood \n £77,500-£84,000 \n Permanent \n There's a point in a growing business where finance needs to move beyond producing the numbers and start actively shaping what happens next. \n That's where this role sits. \n We're working with an established wholesale and e-commerce business that has grown significantly and is now investing in the next stage of its finance function. They need a Head of Finance who can bring greater structure to reporting, improve visibility around commercial performance and give the leadership team more useful information to make decisions. \n This is a broad SME finance leadership role based in Borehamwood, with responsibility for a small team and direct exposure to senior decision-makers. \n Where you'll make an impact \n A major priority will be improving the quality and usefulness of financial information across the business. \n Rather than simply maintaining existing routines, you'll have scope to review how things are done, identify what needs changing and implement more scalable ways of working. \n Key areas will include: \n\n • Taking ownership of monthly reporting and providing clear commentary on performance\n, • Giving senior leadership better visibility over revenue, gross margin, costs and profitability\n, • Strengthening forecasting, budgeting and cash flow planning\n, • Developing reporting around inventory, stock movements and working capital\n, • Reviewing existing finance processes and removing unnecessary manual work\n, • Improving controls across the balance sheet and transactional finance\n, • Managing banking, cash requirements and wider funding relationships\n, • Overseeing receivables, payables and credit control\n, • Developing systems and automation as the business becomes more sophisticated\n, • Managing intercompany positions and reconciliations\n, • Coordinating year-end requirements with external advisers and auditors\n, • Leading, supporting and developing the existing finance team\n, • Working closely with commercial and operational colleagues rather than finance operating in isolation\n\n Because this is a wholesale and e-commerce environment, stock is central to the numbers. You'll need to understand the relationship between inventory, purchasing, margin, cash and overall business performance. \n The background that will work well \n We're not looking for someone who needs a large finance infrastructure around them. \n You'll be comfortable taking ownership, working through problems yourself and deciding what good should look like as the business develops. \n ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification would be preferred, alongside experience such as: \n\n • Leading finance within an SME or owner-managed environment\n, • Producing and improving management information\n, • Building forecasts, budgets and financial models\n, • Working with inventory and understanding stock accounting\n, • Improving financial controls and month-end processes\n, • Strong working-capital and cash-flow management\n, • Developing finance systems, reporting tools or ERP processes\n, • Managing and developing a small team\n, • Partnering directly with senior leadership\n\n Previous exposure to a wholesale and e-commerce business would be particularly relevant, but broader experience within a product, distribution or stock-heavy environment could work equally well. \n Why consider it? \n This should appeal to someone who wants more ownership than a conventional Financial Controller position but still enjoys being close enough to the numbers to understand what is really happening. \n As Head of Finance, you'll have the remit to improve the finance function rather than simply inherit it, with the opportunity to put better reporting, processes and controls in place as the company continues to develop. \n The position is paying £77,500-£84,000 and is based in Borehamwood.

This isn't a mature, static function you'll inherit and maintain. It's an active, hands-on treasury agenda with multiple funding lines, a fast-moving cash position, and a steady flow of acquisitions to integrate. If you want to build and own processes rather than police someone else's, this is your role. \n Reporting to the Group Financial Controller and with a Treasury Analyst reporting to you, you'll be at the centre of how the Group funds its growth and puts its cash to work. \n What you'll do \n You'll own the Group's rolling 12-month integrated cash flow forecast — consolidating inputs from across the business, working directly with finance and non-finance colleagues to sense-check and challenge the numbers, and continually sharpening forecast accuracy. You'll manage the Group's debt facilities day to day, act as the primary contact for our banking relationships, and lead the drive to rationalise and simplify banking structures as we scale. \n There's a real commercial edge to the role: you'll take ownership of optimising interest income on surplus cash — through fixed-term deposits, sweep structures and smart movement of cash between entities — always balanced against liquidity needs and risk appetite. You'll monitor interest rate risk on our debt and support hedging decisions (caps, swaps) with senior finance and external advisers. \n And because growth is the story here, you'll model the cash flow, liquidity and covenant impact of acquisitions in the pipeline, partner on funding requirements, and lead the treasury integration of completed deals — banking, cash visibility, payment controls and forecasting, all folded cleanly into the Group. \n What you'll bring \n You're a pragmatic, commercially minded self-starter who's comfortable building forecasting tools and processes from scratch in a lean team. You'll bring 5+ years of treasury/cash management experience with a clear focus on debt management and cash flow forecasting — ideally from a multi-entity or PE-backed environment — and you're a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or ACT-qualified (AMCT). \n You'll have hands-on experience with banking partners and lenders, optimising deposit returns, managing interest rate risk and hedging, and covenant compliance and reporting. Advanced Excel and financial modelling are second nature, and you can explain a treasury position as clearly to a non-finance operator as to the board. Experience of treasury or cash flow forecasting systems is important (familiarity with Agicap is a bonus, not a must). \n Why this role \n You'll get scope, ownership and visibility that's hard to find in a larger, more established treasury team — the chance to shape how a growing group manages its cash and funding, with a direct line to senior leadership and a front-row seat on the M&A that's driving it all.
