Job Description

A growth-stage organisation in the manufacturing of scientific products is entering a pivotal period as it prepares for its next investment cycle and a potential company sale. To support this transition, the CFO is seeking an experienced finance professional to provide hands-on, high-impact support throughout a fast-moving transaction environment. This role is ideal for someone who can operate with credibility, independence, and precision, and who thrives in situations where structure, clarity and rigour are essential. This is not a process following role. It requires someone who can land quickly, build trust, and add genuine value during a strategically significant period.

Job Responsibility

  • Transaction Preparation & Due Diligence Support: Prepare financial, tax and legal due diligence materials ahead of and during a potential sale process
  • Coordinate and respond to information requests from advisors with accuracy and pace

  • Act as a reliable, detail driven point of contact during a high stakes transaction period
  • Process Documentation & Improvement: Map and document existing financial processes to create clear, repeatable operational guides
  • Review month end workflows to streamline timelines and reduce manual intervention
  • Recommend and support implementation of control improvements to strengthen reporting accuracy and reduce risk
  • Finance Team Support: Support monthly management reporting across P&L, balance sheet and cashflow
  • Assist with tax compliance and routine regulatory submissions
  • Provide additional capacity to the finance team during a period of organisational change

Requirements

  • Background in audit and/or financial due diligence is useful
  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
  • Strong grounding in management reporting and financial analysis
  • Confident working with finance systems and interrogating data
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a willingness to challenge data
  • Ability to balance big-picture thinking with detailed execution
  • Clear understanding of what ‘good’ looks like in financial reporting
  • Comfortable working autonomously within a defined scope
  • Credible engaging with senior stakeholders, including C-suite and external advisors
  • Calm, pragmatic and resilient under pressure

Nice to have

  • Background in audit and/or financial due diligence is useful
  • Experience supporting transactions in practice, industry, or advisory environments
