The business is established and profitable, generating £10m+ in annual revenue, with a strong presence in a specialist healthcare and wholesale distribution market. Having grown rapidly, the group is now entering a new phase focused on operational maturity, systems integration, and strategic scalability. This role has been created to support that transition.

• Supporting group restructuring and process optimisation initiatives
• Contributing to the development of management information and FP&A capability
• Assisting with preparations for a future event

The Environment

The business operates at pace within a high-volume transactional setting. While commercially successful, its internal infrastructure is still evolving. This presents a significant opportunity for the right individual to introduce structure, discipline, and scalable processes, while working closely with an engaged and ambitious leadership team.

Candidate Profile

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
• Experience within eCommerce, retail, or stock-intensive environments
• Demonstrated ability to build or significantly improve finance functions

• Predominantly office-based, with some flexibility
