Head of Finance

London (Holborn - 3 days a week) Competitive salary

Some finance roles are about maintaining the status quo.

This isn't one of them.

We're recruiting for a technology-focused holding company supporting a portfolio of innovative software businesses. Working directly with the CEO, you'll help shape financial strategy while remaining hands-on with the day-to-day running of the finance function.

This is a varied role combining strategic, commercial and operational finance, offering the opportunity to make a genuine impact across a growing technology group.

Key responsibilities

• Produce management accounts, board reports, budgets and cashflow forecasts.
• Lead treasury, payroll, VAT, audit and Companies House submissions.
• Support commercial bids, pricing, M&A and due diligence.
• Partner with the CEO on financial planning and business growth.
• Strengthen financial controls, governance and reporting.
• Work closely with UK and India-based colleagues across the group.
• Identify opportunities to improve systems, automation and operational efficiency.

About you

You'll have experience leading finance within an SME, scale-up or technology business and enjoy balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.

You'll be comfortable working with senior stakeholders, improving processes and using technology to drive efficiency. Experience of multi-entity businesses, acquisitions, governance or international operations would be advantageous, as would exposure to AI or automation within finance.

If you enjoy building better ways of working, influencing business decisions and being part of a growing technology business, we'd love to hear from you.
