Take ownership of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, banking, VAT, and month-end processes, maintaining accurate ledgers and reconciliations.

Oversee and improve cashflow management, ensuring adequate working capital and financial stability.

Build financial models and business cases for new products, partnerships, and growth initiatives.

Deliver insight into cost control, margin optimisation, and performance improvement opportunities.

Partner with operational leaders to embed financial awareness and accountability across the business.

Investor & Transaction Readiness

Lead financial due diligence preparation and support potential fundraising, acquisition, or sale processes.

Prepare and maintain investor data, financial models, and key documentation for prospective partners.

Work closely with legal and corporate finance advisors to ensure smooth transaction execution.

Establish the foundation for a future finance team as the business grows, including potential recruitment and mentoring of junior finance staff.

Develop scalable systems, policies, and procedures to support future expansion and reporting needs.
