FD Capital is recruiting a Group Head of Finance on behalf of a growing UK property investment business based in Surrey. Our client acquires and develops specialist housing accommodation, leased to housing providers under long-term arrangements, generating resilient contracted rental income while supporting the wider need for better community-based care.
Operating through a multi-entity group structure, the business is now looking for a commercially minded, hands-on finance leader to take ownership of the finance function as the portfolio and investor base continue to expand.
Responsibilities
Reporting to the CEO/CFO, you will take full ownership of the integrity, control and forward planning of the Group's finances — spanning statutory and management reporting, VAT, cash-flow planning, investor distributions, group accounting, budgeting and fundraising support. This is a genuinely broad, senior finance leadership role for someone equally comfortable setting strategy and working through the detail.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
Only hits

- Day-to-day ownership of the Group finance function across all companies and property-owning entities

- Short-, medium- and long-term cash-flow forecasting across the Group and underlying entities
- Administration of investor dividends — calculations, schedules, reconciliation and full audit trail
- Leading the annual budgeting/forecasting cycle and building financial models for acquisitions, yields and investor returns
- Supporting equity fundraising, financial due diligence and transaction work
- Managing external accountants, auditors and tax advisers, and building internal finance capability as the team grows
