Equifind is working with a London fintech that just blew past its public fundraise target, backed by some of the biggest names in fintech and VC, and now they need a Head of Finance to match the ambition.
More fundraising is coming. M&A could be on the cards. And the CEO wants a commercially minded finance leader right there in the room for all of it.
You'd be building the finance function from the ground up: the infrastructure, institutional-grade reporting, MI, the whole strategic finance agenda, working side by side with the CEO and leadership team. Chances to genuinely shape a high-growth business like this don't come around often!
Key responsibilities
- Act as a trusted partner to the CEO and leadership team, providing commercial insight and strategic financial guidance to support growth and decision-making.
- Lead all aspects of the finance function, including management reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management and board reporting.
- Manage relationships with external accounting, tax, payroll and audit providers, ensuring the business receives a high-quality and scalable finance service.
- Support future fundraising, M&A and strategic projects, including financial modelling, due diligence and investor reporting.
- Oversee the company's regulatory and governance obligations, ensuring ongoing compliance with FCA requirements and financial controls.
- Build and develop the finance and operations infrastructure required to support the business as it scales, driving process improvements, automation and operational efficiency.
