Role Overview
We're working with an incredible Private Equity backed Events and Retail business in Oxfordshire who are looking to hire a Finance Director to take ownership as the number 1 in finance and report to/support the Commercial CFO/COO.
They are keen to hire and onboard asap with upcoming projects, so ideal candidate would be immediately available or 2-3 weeks notice max.
It's an exciting time to join as along with the BAU ownership of MA and P+L etc they are about to start an ERP implementation project (consultants on-boarded), data migration, and are rebuilding and reviewing their balance sheets, sales to cash rec's, and accounting workflows to drive efficiencies at year end and produce more meaningful insight on a monthly basis. They have a group structure and TO of around £90m - £120m.
This role is initially a fixed term contract for at least 12 - 18 months initially. The ideal candidate would want to be here long term and progress, however, also keen to meet candidates who want a long term interim role with ownership and impact.

This candidate would have the ownership as the Number 1 in Finance and supported by Finance Managers, implementation consultants, and FC. The COO/CFO will initially still oversee the commercial FP+A team while these projects are underway, and can then also hand over this commercial side when the FD has bandwidth.
Location
Chipping Norton Area. Great team, great culture of valued team members, and lovely office.
Office / Hybrid
As this is a leadership role, preference is 5 days in office. However they will offer 4 days in office and 1 from home. Ideally see value in being in office full time initially.
Salary
£140k - £165k
