Finance Manager - Fast Growth Agency - London (Hybrid)
We’re partnering with an ambitious, rapidly scaling PR and communications agency group with revenues approaching £20m and exceptional growth momentum. Backed by a highly successful parent group, the business combines entrepreneurial energy with strong commercial backing, making this an outstanding opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional who wants to grow quickly alongside the business.
This is far more than a traditional management accounts role. You’ll sit at the heart of the business, partnering with leadership teams, influencing strategic decisions, improving reporting capability, and helping drive operational and commercial performance across multiple entities.
We’re looking for someone analytical, commercially curious and genuinely excited by turning numbers into insight. Someone who loves spreadsheets, enjoys modelling and analysis, and wants to help shape a modern, data-driven finance function within a fast-growth environment.
