Finance Director job at Bromley Full Time

Role: Financial Director

Location: South East London (4 days per week in office)

Salary: Circa £100,000 – £120,000 executive package

The Opportunity

This is not a slow, process-driven corporate finance role. This is a rare opportunity for a highly driven, hands-on Financial Director to join a fast-growth business. They are experiencing exceptional growth with the pace and energy of a startup. You will be the CEO’s trusted right hand – not just a technical accountant, but a true commercial partner who thrives on balancing aggressive growth ambitions with financial reality.

The Role

Leading a small but highly capable finance team, you will take full ownership of the finance function in a business that operates multiple operational units. You will be expected to move seamlessly between high-level strategy and rolling up your sleeves to get into the detail.

Key responsibilities include:

• Commercial Finance & Modelling – Build and stress-test complex financial models to support growth initiatives, investment decisions, and scenario planning.
• Cash & Capital Management: Relentlessly focused on the balance between cash in the bank, working capital requirements, and the need to reinvest for growth.
• Contract & Commercial Review: Apply an expert eye for detail to customer, supplier, and partnership contracts – identifying risk, commercial upside, and hidden exposure before they become problems.
• Board Packs & Investor-Level Reporting: Prepare insightful, data-rich board packs that tell the real story – not just historical numbers, but forward-looking projections and actionable intelligence.
• Growth vs. Caution: Act as the internal guardian who respects ambition but never ignores the numbers. Challenge where needed, but always in service of sustainable, rapid growth.
• Operational Integration: Understand how multiple business units (e.g., different revenue streams, cost centres, or operational functions) interact financially – and ensure no part operates in a silo.

What We’re Looking For

You will be a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with a proven track record as a Financial Director, Head of Finance, or senior finance leader in a fast-growth, high-energy environment.

You will be comfortable with the realities of a startup-style culture: ambiguity, pace, limited bureaucracy, and high personal accountability. In return you will have a genuine path to CFO as the business continues its growth trajectory.
