Finance Manager | VC-Backed, High-Growth Buy-and-Build Platform | London, Hybrid
The Client
We are partnering with a VC-backed buy-and-build platform, built by founders with a track record of scaling and exiting global businesses previously. They are making one to two acquisitions a month, with each one folded onto a single proprietary technology platform that lifts performance almost as soon as the deal closes.
So far, they have gone from a handful of people to 20 in under six months and the next funding round is already on the horizon.
The Role
Reporting to the Finance Director, this Finance Manager role covers month-end close, accounts payable, payroll oversight, and cash and treasury, with a bookkeeper handling the transactional work beneath you. You will also onboard new entities and consolidate on a rolling basis.
You'll take ownership of the budget early on, with forecasting and deeper analysis growing into the role over time.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
