What We're Looking For
A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with a strong track record at Financial Controller or Head of Finance level, ready to take the next step into a board-facing FD role.Someone who has operated in a business of genuine complexity - ideally with manufacturing, food production, life sciences, FMCG or similarly operationally intensive experience, though this is not prescriptive.A natural communicator who can translate financial complexity into clear, confident narratives for a CEO and board audience, and who is comfortable being the most senior finance voice in the room.A hands-on leader who takes pride in the quality of their team's output and invests in developing the people around them.Someone with the commercial instinct to look beyond the numbers and contribute meaningfully to strategic conversations, not just report on them.Comfortable with ambiguity and energised by a business that is actively evolving, rather than one where the path is already clearly defined.
Why This Role
A genuine FD designate position with a clear and credible progression path, not an indefinite holding pattern.Direct access to a founder-connected CEO who is deeply invested in the business and expects his senior team to be equally engaged.A business with real heritage, serious infrastructure and two growth platforms - one established and market-leading, one pioneering and still being built.A Lincolnshire base with a leadership team that values presence and collaboration.£90,000 – £110,000 depending on experience, plus a competitive benefits package.
