This is your chance to join a portfolio of globally recognised, mission-driven brands - from premium coffee and oat milk to innovative reusable lifestyle products - all under one exciting umbrella backed by a major European impact investor.



The Role

As Finance Manager, you''ll report to the CFO and take full ownership of operational finance across multiple UK and international entities. You''ll lead a small team, ensure robust financial controls and compliance, and play a crucial role in enabling the business to scale sustainably.

What You''ll Be Doing

  • Own month-end close, group reporting, VAT/BAS/GST compliance, and financial statement preparation.

  • Manage a team of 3 across the UK, ensuring smooth AR/AP, payroll, and cashflow operations.

  • Drive improvements in financial systems, reporting accuracy, and process efficiency.

  • Oversee audits, FX management, and multi-entity reconciliations.

  • Act as a business partner to senior leadership, providing actionable financial insights.



What We''re Looking For

  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with experience in a fast-paced, consumer-facing business.

  • Strong understanding of UK GAAP and international accounting compliance.

  • Proven experience managing end-to-end finance operations across multiple entities.

  • A proactive leader who enjoys building high-performing teams and improving processes.



Why Join?

  • Join a mission-led business that blends purpose with profit.

  • Be part of a collaborative, entrepreneurial, and high-performing team.

  • Real responsibility from day one - with the opportunity to shape the finance function of a growing business.
