About the Opportunity
This is an opportunity to take ownership of the finance function across two entrepreneurial businesses operating within private aviation and luxury automotive.
It's a broad, hands-on role combining the day-to-day finance function with management accounts, budgeting, cash flow forecasting and reporting.
Both businesses operate internationally, working across multiple currencies with specialist suppliers and high-value clients. As the standalone Finance Manager, you'll have visibility across the whole finance function, supported by external accountants and advisers.
We're looking for someone with a strong grounding in finance who enjoys variety, autonomy and taking ownership, and wants to play an important role within two fast-moving businesses.
