Senior Finance Manager | Food & Beverage Scale-Up | London / Hybrid
The Client
A founder-led food and beverage business with a rapidly growing UK & Ireland division that has doubled year-on-year and is on track to exceed £15m. Products are stocked in major UK supermarkets and online platforms, with significant new distribution deals in the pipeline across the UK and internationally.
The Role
Reporting to the Founders, the Senior Finance Manager will lead day-to-day financial operations for the business. With the support of a Finance Assistant, you will own the month-end close process, management reporting and FP&A. This is a hands-on role with genuine breadth, and as the business scales, there is a clear path to broader ownership.
