Equifind are delighted to be partnering with a Logistics business based in Windsor, who are looking to recruit a qualified Head of Finance who will report to the Finance Director. This is an exciting and newly created position, joining a team of 30 accountants and managing 5 people directly.
If you’re energised by change, confident challenging the status quo, and motivated by building high-performing teams, this is a rare opportunity to make a meaningful difference within a respected, stable business.
The role would suit someone with a strong technical accounting background, confident across statutory accounting, IFRS, and consolidations, combined with strong people skills and a genuine appetite for transformation and change. You'll need to have experience working within a large multi-entity business (ideally £250-300mil T/O) with experience of lease and asset accounting.
