Finance Manager (3 Months Contract)

Behind the scenes our Finance team plays a critical role in making that possible. Clarity control and good decisions dont happen by accident. They come from people who know how to get into the detail make sense of it and keep things moving forward.

This role sits right at that intersection.

Were looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to join us on a 3-month fixed term contract with a possibility of extension. This is not a manage from a distance role. Youll be in the numbers in the systems and in the day-to-day reality of how finance operates in a scaling business.

Youll take ownership across two functional areas financial control and management accounting in the short term bringing structure clarity and momentum where its needed most. Additionally one of the objectives of this role is to help implement finance workflows that are automated and simplified either through our finance system or with the use of AI.

Experience in NetSuite is essential and were particularly interested in someone who has operated as a sole or lead finance person in a startup or scale-up environment.

• Using AI and automations as a first call when it comes to solving problems

• Document and where possible automate key finance workflows to support a transition to a leaner team structure

• Supporting reporting and giving clear visibility on performance

• Supporting year-end audit queries

• Partnering with stakeholders across the business to answer questions and unblock decisions

• Bringing a level of calm control and clarity to a fast-moving environment

What Good Looks Like

• Things are organised accurate and easy to understand

• Month end close runs to schedule and outputs are reliable

• Finance feels like a support function not a blocker

• Issues are spotted early

• Stakeholders feel confident in the numbers theyre working with

• You leave things in a better place than you found them

• Proven experience using NetSuite in a practical operational way this is essential

• Background in a startup or scale-up environment ideally as a sole or lead finance person

• Comfortable working autonomously and taking ownership quickly

• Able to balance detail with pace aka knowing when perfect isnt the goal

• Clear communicator who can translate finance into something others can actually use

• Experience working in or alongside tech or AI-led businesses

• Comfort using tools or workflows that support automation or efficiency

But this isnt just a holding role. Were using this period to be deliberate about what our finance function looks like going forward what needs to exist what can be automated and where human judgement genuinely adds value. We want someone who can help us answer those questions while keeping the function running well.

If youre someone who enjoys getting into the detail making things work properly and leaving a function stronger than you found it this will feel like a good fit.
