The Role
This is a full-time interim engagement taking over from the current finance lead, with a handover in early December.
Reporting to the founder, the Interim Finance Manager will run the core finance operation for the trading business: management accounts, payroll, AP/AR, VAT and reconciliations, plus the financial admin that comes with a growing business.
There is no team underneath this role, so it is fully hands-on.
The focus is a strong, reliable finance function, with senior oversight of the wider picture provided separately.

- Run payroll, invoicing, supplier payments and credit control
- Prepare and submit VAT returns

- Finance Manager, management accountant or senior accountant experience in a start-up or scale-up
- Experience in an online or digital business; SaaS or recurring revenue
- Fully hands-on and comfortable running finance on your own
