About the Role

Our fin-leads head up finance across a portfolio of 5-7 clients, providing forecasting, planning, and commercial insight. You will challenge thinking, assess risk, shape decisions, and connect day-to-day performance with long-term strategy, building high-performing teams. You'll be the trusted finance voice, turning finance into a tool founders actively use.

Responsibilities

• Own the financial narrative across your clients - P&L, cash flow, balance sheet - translating complexity into clear guidance that founders can act on
• Own the operational backbone - AP, AR, payroll and VAT - across your portfolio, keeping clients confident that nothing slips
• Lead budgeting, forecasting and scenario planning, connecting commercial reality with long-term strategy
• Build sophisticated financial models for fundraising, M&A, and investment decisions
• Challenge assumptions, flag risks early and shape decisions, not just report on them
• Coach and develop fin-managers and fin-operators across your portfolio (typically 2-3 direct reports), building high-performing teams
• Drive systems and process improvements, setting the standard for how Xero is configured and used
• Help fin-house grow - through referrals, the relationships you build, and how you represent the brand externally

Requirements

• Minimum 7 years' experience in an accountancy or finance role
• Proficient in Excel and/or Google Sheets
• You've been the sole or most senior finance person in a scaling business
• You know what it means to build a finance function rather than inherit one, to advise a founder rather than a committee, and to make calls without a safety net
• You're ambitious, not settled
• You're energised by variety, not unsettled by it
• You're motivated to develop people, coaching team members across your portfolio and shaping fin-house's culture of high performance
• You care about the impact finance can make, you don't just crunch numbers, you want to shape decisions and drive real business change
• You're always curious, constantly looking for ways to do things better, for yourself, your clients and the team
• You want to be part of a tight-knit culture that learns together and enjoys spending time together, not just working alongside each other
