Finance Director

NXTGEN are exclusively partnering with a high-growth international business in the search for a commercially focused Finance Director to join at a pivotal stage of its journey.

This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of a multi-entity international finance function within a business experiencing rapid growth and increasing complexity. The successful Finance Director will play a critical role in building a scalable finance function that supports decision-making, strengthens controls, improves visibility across performance, and enables future expansion.

This is a hands-on leadership role where finance must evolve beyond reporting and compliance to become a true strategic partner to the wider business.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Full ownership of the international finance function across multiple entities
• Leading all reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management activities
• Improving financial controls, governance, and reporting accuracy
• Building scalable finance processes and systems to support continued growth
• Delivering meaningful commercial insight to support strategic decision-making
• Managing audits, compliance, and external stakeholder relationships
• Leading and developing an international finance team
• Partnering closely with senior leadership to support business performance and growth

The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with previous experience operating within a senior finance leadership role in a high-growth environment. You will possess strong technical finance capability alongside the commercial acumen required to influence decision-making across the wider business.

Experience operating within international or multi-entity businesses will be highly advantageous, alongside the ability to build structure, improve processes, and operate effectively within a fast-paced environment.

In return, my client can offer a highly visible leadership position with genuine ownership, influence, and the opportunity to shape the future direction of both the finance function and wider business.
