Finance Director

Harper May is working with a London-based technology company that builds infrastructure and platform solutions for enterprise clients across multiple sectors. The business is backed by experienced founders and has secured recent funding to accelerate product development and market penetration. Operating across a growing international footprint, the company is now strengthening its finance function and seeking a Finance Director to drive financial discipline and strategic insight as the business scales.

The Role
Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will own the full finance remit: strategy, reporting, controls, and commercial insight. This is a hands-on role that demands both strategic vision and operational rigour-you will work directly with the board and leadership team to shape financial planning, support M&A and investment decisions, and ensure scalable processes keep pace with growth.

• Develop and own the annual financial plan, rolling forecasts, and cash runway management
• Build and lead the finance function, hiring and developing team capability as the business expands
• Drive financial controls, audit readiness, and compliance across all entities
• Partner with the commercial and product teams to model unit economics and support pricing strategy
• Manage relationships with investors, lenders, and advisors; lead funding rounds and capital allocation
• Deliver clear, timely financial reporting to the board and executive leadership

What we are looking for

• ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified with 7+ years' experience in senior finance roles
• Proven track record scaling finance in technology, venture-backed, or fast-growth businesses
• Strong grasp of SaaS metrics, product economics, and commercial drivers
• Confident communicator at board and investor level; able to translate complexity into clear narrative
• Technical accounting capability combined with a strategic, business-focused mindset
