Alexander Daniels are proud to have partnered with a growing and ambitious multi-site organisation who are seeking a technically-strong Head of Finance to join the leadership team during an exciting period of expansion.
This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified finance professional who wants to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a growing business. The organisation currently operates across multiple locations and has ambitious plans to more than double in size over the coming years.
We're looking for someone who can combine strong technical accounting expertise with a hands-on, pragmatic approach. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit at arm's length from the detail. Instead, you'll be instrumental in improving financial controls, enhancing reporting, developing a growing finance team and helping create a scalable finance function capable of supporting significant business growth.
The Role
Reporting directly to the CFO, you will lead the day-to-day finance function and take ownership of:
- Monthly management accounts and financial reporting
- Budgeting, forecasting and cash flow management
- Financial controls and governance
- Team leadership and development
- Month-end and year-end processes
- Business partnering with operational stakeholders
- Process improvement and finance transformation initiatives
- Supporting growth projects and strategic decision-making
- Enhancing systems, reporting and operational efficiency
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You will ideally have:
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification
- Experience in a Financial Controller, Head of Finance or similar leadership role
- Strong financial reporting and management accounting expertise
- Experience improving financial controls and processes
- Excellent stakeholder management skills
- The ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
