Harmonic are delighted to be working with a family-run facilities services SME based in East London to find them a Fractional/Interim Finance Director for an initial project period of 2-3 weeks (could be full or part-time) followed by an on-going Fractional support (days per week tbc).

Currently with an annual revenue of £5m, they are looking to further establish themselves as a market leader in the area. Despite substantial recent growth, they still operate very much as a family-owned business and are looking for someone who understands the trials and tribulations of a business of this type.

Moving forward they need someone to develop a financial model and lay out blueprint for required changes to the business to ensure sustainability. The ideal situation would lead to the successful candidate taking on this longer project on a Fractional basis.

• Perform an MOT on the business' finances.
• Review cashflow forecasting to ensure accuracy
• Identify and implement improvements to financial processes.
• Develop a financial model that is fit for purpose.
• Partner with the managing director and make strategic and commercial suggestions with financial backing.
• Support & upskill the current Finance Manager.

Essential Experience

• Qualified Accountant (ACA,ACCA, CIMA)
• Previous experience as a finance leader (FD, Head of Finance, or CFO).
• Prior experience professionalizing a finance function.
• Previous experience working within an SME with a revenue between £1m-£10m

Bonus Experience

• Experience within the facilities management, service, or construction industries.
• Prior experience working in a family-run business.
